We were a party of Six on the flight in the front of the Cabin. I fell asleep before taking off. I awoke blown away to see the stewardess on supplemental oxygen and hearing f we were landing in Hawaii in Oahu instead of OGG. My party said they smelled some chemical smell, had head aches and some Reported eyes burning. We were escorted upon landing by fire trucks, police and ems. We got in a midnight and were told to stay in the airport gate until further notice. We didn’t get things sorted out until 4ish when we had to sleep. Still Haven’t been informed what we may have been exposed to. I heard it was most concentrated in The front of the plane.
These “Fume” events can contain Neurotoxins and have very serious health effects— there is help for any passenger or crew that is feeling unwell from this flight- the Association of Flight Attendants National Safety Chair- Judith Anderson has dealt with these kinds of events for over 3 decades… it’s important to get accurate information and support- if you know of someone that was on that flight and has ‘the flu like symptoms’- there Is Help.
Boeing and the aerospace industry have known since the 1950s that the breathing air supply (known as ‘bleed air’) can become contaminated with engine oil or hydraulic fluid decomposition products. Air accident departments in 12 countries have made over 50 recommendations and findings on this issue. As crews and passengers have been impaired and flight safety has been compromised the British Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) twice recommended to the FAA that all aircraft should have contaminated air warning systems fitted to warn crews when the air is contaminated but the FAA has not acted on these key safety recommendations. Google ‘Global Cabin Air Quality Executive’ or ‘Aerotoxic Syndrome’ for more info.
