People on American Airlines flight again sickened by mysterious odour

For the second time in just over a week, media outlets are reporting people got sick on an American Airlines flight due to a strange odour. The latest incident comes out of Miami International, where several American Airlines crew members were sickened and asked to be taken to a hospital Monday due to something they smelled. Last week, a similar report of sickness due to an “foul odour” got international attention on a flight out of Charlotte to Raleigh. Media outlets incorrectly reported the July 16 incident was due to sick passenger, and that it forced the plane to be evacuated in Raleigh. American Airlines later clarified that the plane wasn’t evacuated, but a “medical call came in for someone affected by an odour” in the cabin. The odour was not explained, but the airline suggested it was due to a mechanical issue. <br/>
