863866 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus%20toilet | Bus toilet | A bus toilet is a toilet onboard a bus that is usually a type of a vaccum toilet. It is most commonly found on intercity buses/coaches suitable for mid- or long-distance travel.
Many think that the toilet onboard a bus is only for peeing, but it can also be used for defecating. Due to the toilet's small opening, feces might not go down through the small hole on the toilet.
How a Bus Toilet Works
A bus toilet works differently than a home toilet does. A bus toilet does not use water, and it is not hooked up to a sewer. On a bus, urine and feces are held in a holding tank. Bus toilets use a blue formaldehyde product to mask the odor of urine and feces.
There are two main types of bus toilets. One type has flap in the toilet that closes to hide the view of the holding tank. The other type does not have the flap, which leaves the holding tank in view.

This means that they won the war against the Afghan government. This happened because of a a military offensive that began in May 2021, which was the latest stage of their insurgency against the Afghan government.
The capture took place hours after President Ashraf Ghani escaped from the country. U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to remove troops from Afghanistan, followed by his replacement Joe Biden continuing to do so, made it easier for the Taliban to take power.
In the days before and after Kabul's fall, thousands of civilians left the country and thousands of others have failed in their attempts to do so. Many Afghan women are scared because they don't know how the Taliban will treat women in Afghanistan.
On 30 August 2021, evacuations from Afghanistan ended, allowing Taliban to take full control of the country and ending the War in Afghanistan.

The pilot of Piper PA-46-310P Malibu N264DB flew the aircraft and a passenger from Cardiff Airport, U.K. to Nantes Airport, France, on 19 January 2019 with a return flight scheduled for 21 January 2019. The pilot arrived at the airport in Nantes at 12:46 hrs on 21 January to refuel and prepare the aircraft for the flight. At 18:36 hrs the passenger, professional footballer Emiliano Sala, arrived at airport security, and the aircraft taxied out for departure at 19:06 hrs.
The pilot’s planned route would take the aircraft on an almost direct track from Nantes to Cardiff, flying overhead Guernsey en route. The Visual Flight Rules (VFR) flight plan indicated a cruise altitude of 6,000 ft amsl and a distance of 265 nm. The aircraft took off from runway 03 at Nantes Airport at 19:15 hrs, and the pilot asked ATC for clearance to climb to 5,500 ft. The climb was approved by Nantes Approach Control and the flight plan was activated.
The aircraft flew on its planned route towards Cardiff until it was approximately 13 nm south of Guernsey when the pilot requested and was given a descent to remain in Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). The last radio contact with the aircraft was with Jersey Radar at 20:12 hrs, when the pilot asked for a further descent. The aircraft’s last recorded secondary radar point was at 20:16:34 hrs, although two further primary returns were recorded after this. The wreckage of N264DB was subsequently found on the seabed about 30 metres from the position of the last secondary radar point recorded by the radar at Guernsey. Both occupants had suffered fatal injuries.
