A clip from X-Ray Mega Airport on Smithsonian Channel shows how airplanes and airport workers deal with waste from the onboard toilets.

Modern airplane toilet bowls rely on strong suction and teflon-coated walls to flush-causing waste to accelerate through its pipes faster than a Formula One race car.
