The crewmembers had been onboard a plane that had just arrived from St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Five passengers from that flight were treated on the scene.

anyone know the tail number? Or aircraft type

WCNC news just said CO2 had been ruled out.

Not sure about the Tail #, but the Flight is Scheduled to be operated by the B767-200ER

Ok, so we know that it wasn't CO2. Does anyone have a clue what it might have been?

Not sure about the Tail #, but the Flight is Scheduled to be operated by the B767-200ER

I wonder if it was the same 767 that crew got ill in SJU for the same reasons?

 

[Hope777]

I know we had an Engine Change just done on an Aircraft in SJU, does anyone know if it was a 767?

I recently saw that the B747 we chartered to bring the eninge to SJU, blew over some airstairs at the CLT Hanger and Damaged another aircraft. Anyone know how much damage was done?

Just to be sure, its' CO (carbon monoxide), not CO2 that would be the larger and most likely problem.

A/C in SJU with eng. change was a 757 I think A/C 205.

A/C damaged by 747 was A/C 249. Nose gear door had ladder blown in to it. Minor damage.
