I’m a flight attendant. This is the terrifying truth about invisible toxic fume leaks in cabins… the giveaway smell… and the REAL reason planes feel so hot before takeoff

A flight officer warned that the smell of burning rubber may indicate the presence of toxic fumes that may cause brain injuries in the cabin of an Airbus aircraft.

Former Spirit employee, who wanted to be defined, told Daily Mail that he had experienced at least five ‘smoke events’ during his 12 -year career.

‘Something you usually smell,’ he said. ‘Burning tires or something like that … It almost fills the exhaust cabin and makes you very, very sick.’

According to A Wall Street Journal In the report, it was found that the increase in jet fuel leaks in thousands of flights in the country’s main airlines caused similar symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which is normally found in NFL players after the head trauma.

Leaks are limited to Airbus A320 aircraft used extensively by all major US Airlines. Delta is currently in the process of quietly replacing more than 300 Airbus jets to solve the problem.

Spirit, Frontier and Jetblue airlines are only flying from the Airbus A320 family.

Delta, American and United Airlines operate fleets of both Airbus and Boeing aircraft and A320 variants used by all three.

The motor that can leak toxic fumes is called auxiliary power unit (APU). Usually it sits on the tail of a plane, sitting on the plane to produce electricity and pump into the air when the other two engines do not work.

APU is usually used when making a taxi before departure and after landing.

Airbus and Honeywell, one of the two manufacturers of the APUs, are said to be suggested to close Apu’s air supply together.

This can explain the extremely airless conditions that some passengers face in the Airbus A320 cabins while releasing planes without air conditioning and waiting to get up.

Speaking on the Daily Mail, the flight officer said that although he is not aware of this common problem in general public flights, employees on aircraft are very familiar with it.

However, the cabins said that no training was given about toxin leaks and the problem of flight officials was left to wander on their own.

For the first time, when he had a leak, the captain told him that he would be good as long as you got off the plane and that it was published.

“ No matter how fast you go out, the better, ” the captain said to him.

When he had a smoke incident in the air, the passenger was on the plane, the pilot reversed the plane, but he did not tell the passengers exactly why.

‘They said, you know, we have a problem and to be safe, [keep flying]… something is happening forever. You know what I mean? It’s like buying a eruption. ‘

This follows Wall Street Journal’s reports on Delta -related problems.

The article said that APU leaks cause emergency deviations, abandoned take -offs, pilots wearing oxygen masks, and even a passenger vomiting.

Flight Officer Florence Chesson said that after breathing the smoke leaking from the jet engine, traumatic brain damage and nervous system were damaged.

A few jetblue flights drowned with toxic smokes that left a few people on board with permanent brain injuries.

The flight officials reportedly understood the risk of being around motor fumes, regardless of whether they were said by an airline.

“ We all know that, this is a strange thing. This is the risk you take.

‘The airline you work for will come out and will not tell you any of them. They don’t admit, it is existing. They don’t teach it in the class before becoming a flight officer. We shouldn’t say anything to the public. ‘

The former flight officer said that if they do not feel safe on the plane, their peers may refuse to fly.

Wall Street Journal reported that four Jetblue flight officials should be taken to hospital after a single Airbus in September 2022.

Passengers remained nausea, a child had a nosebleed, and the same weather had to be directed by the same Airbus after struggling to breathe according to Journal.

Flight official, ‘smoke incidents’ is usually invisible and just recognized because of the smell, he said. Based on the photos he saw, a ‘smoke event’ on a delta flight in February added that it should be extremely bad because the cabin was filled with a haze as shown in the pictures.

Spirit Daily Mail said: ‘The safety and prosperity of our guests and team members is always our most important priority. We follow all the FAA regulations and Airbus maintenance protocols related to odor events and we provide education, training and awareness based on the best practices from Airbus in this field. ‘

The increase in jet fuel leaks on thousands of flights in the country’s main airlines caused NFL players caused CTE -like symptoms that are normally found. Leaks are limited to Airbus A320 aircraft used extensively by all major US Airlines.

Daily Mail reached Airbus to comment on the allegations of the former flight official, but did not return.

Airbus told Journal that he was working with airlines and organizers to ensure the ‘best possible environment for passengers and crew’.

However, the article said that Airbus knew the problem until 2001. Airbus employees reported that he had discussed the 2019 request from American Airlines for information about the main causes of APU leaks.

One staff said: ‘Do not give officially [American Airlines] Report, airline and aircraft and so on.

A Airbus ProBub found that 12 percent of the smoke incidents that occurred on aircraft between 2016-2021 were linked to APU oil leaks.

Others were caused by Apu, who suckled oil from an air intake.

Headquartered Toulouse, aircraft manufacturer in France summarized three possible corrections.

According to Airbus, APU, which can cut ‘odor’ events by 85 percent, is the most radical proposed to redesign.

Redesigned APUs will only be added to new aircraft. Airbus proposed less radical changes in the fight against smoke on existing aircraft.
