American Airlines admits 'soap spill' did not divert flight

American Airlines now says a spilled cleaning product did not cause an odour that led to a flight being diverted when 2 cabin crew members passed out. The airline initially made the claim after a flight from London Heathrow was diverted to Dublin Oct 21. However, the aircraft's maintenance records and other evidence, obtained by BBC News, cast doubt on that theory. Now American Airlines says its maintenance team has established that a cleaning solution was not the cause. The odour was so serious that a passenger and both of the crew members who fell unconscious were taken to hospital when the plane landed in Dublin. BBC sources say it is likely the leak caused toxic fumes to enter the cabin. However, American Airlines denies that. <br/>
