#2Great article. If Boeing won't install them and flight crews can't use them, is there anything stopping normal passengers from bringing detection equipment in their carry on luggage?

#3FAA seems like it has really let america down. The Max 8 thing and now they've sat on their hands for almost 2 decades after being ordered to assess the way pilots are being poisoned.

#5I 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?

#6If 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.

#8To 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.

#9I was not surprised this article buries the 787 deep inside where no one will read it. Honestly the bleedless air system of the 787 is one of the things that makes me enjoy flying it.

#10Toxic fumes seep into the air we breathe everywhere. Coincidentally, planes are a major cause, as part of a system that has lost its value of health and safety in favor of craving and profit.
