I have no idea what that site is meant to be but it doesn't work on FF/Linux.

There is only a headline and a no-sound not-telling-me-anything video...

Seems to be a link to the actual article? Or a different article related to it?

If I recall correctly the 787 bypasses the use of bleed air and similar systems by using electrical power instead to pressurize the cabin.

That comes with its own set of interesting issues but I wonder if you could get some useful data from the fact that these events shouldn't occur on that plane.

To be honest, even just the amount of jetfuel fumes you take in while on board waiting to push off the from the gate bothers the hell out of me. I think that's just because the jetway connector mostly has unconditioned exterior air and with the door open, that makes its way into the cabin, but it can be very nauseating.
