British Airways flight attendants vomited and became “spaced out” after suspected toxic fumes filled the cabin which left them needing emergency oxygen, a leaked report has revealed. Three pilots and 22 cabin crew needed hospital treatment after an emergency was declared on board a London-bound flight from San Francisco in October. The emergency was prompted on BA286 after “toxic gas-type fumes” filled the A380 aircraft which resulted in the plane being diverted to Vancouver in Canada. A leaked report, written by the most senior flight attendant on the flight, revealed 12 crew members displayed symptoms that gave "cause for concern" while 8 of the 9 crew members on the upper deck plus the captain used emergency oxygen. <br/>

A former US crash investigator believes that Boeing will take the lead in a new privately funded search for missing MH370. Aviation expert John Goglia, a safety consultant and former member of the NTSB, said while the current search led by Australia is winding down the quest for answers is far from over. "The search will continue ... but it will be a privately run," he said with most likely Boeing taking the lead. It has long been considered that a private individual or company would take-over the search for MH370. Last month Australian Transport minister Darren Chester dampened hopes of extending the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 to a new 25,000 square/km search zone identified by international experts as having a high probability of containing the wreckage. <br/>
