American Airlines flight diverted as pilot issues 'two potties' message

An American Airlines Boeing 777 200ER carrying over 280 passengers diverted to New York's JFK airport during a 10-hour journey from Madrid to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The diversion occurred after multiple lavatories became inoperative, leaving only two toilets functioning on the aircraft. The pilot issued a 'two potties' message to notify those on board of the situation before the flight was forced to change its course to address the toilet issues.
