US Military Aircraft
Source: www.wisn.com
An Air Force plane made an emergency landing Thursday night at Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport. The aircraft landed safely after being forced to make the emergency landing about 8:15 p.m. Airport officials told WISN 12 News the Air Force plane isn’t based in Milwaukee and that it was able to taxi off the runway.
The initial report for incident indicated there was smoke in the cockpit, but that has not been confirmed.
After an inspection on the west side of the airport where the plane landed, crews towed the plane across the airport grounds to the 128th Refueling Wing, which is customary for military aircraft.

31 July
British Airways - Boeing 747-400
Flight Number: BA 066 Registration: G-BYGD
Philadelphia/London Heathrow
Alleged Fumes in the cabin.

This aircraft (G-BYGD) allegedly had fumes also on Flight BA 172 JFK/LHR - 07 August - on descent/arrival into LHR on the morning of 08 August.
Between 8th & 10th August the aircraft was grounded and an engine was allegedly replaced.

The CAA acknowledge that fume events occur. They also acknowledge the short-term health effects which include stinging eyes, burning in nasal passages and throat, coughing, sore throat, skin rashes, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms.
WHY IS IT PERMITTED FOR AIRLINES TO KNOWINGLY CAUSE SUCH INJURIES TO HEALTH - EVEN IN THE SHORT-TERM?!!!
These short-term injuries often manifest into long-term health issues and sadly the NHS are not equipped or trained in how to deal with them.
There are many long-term health effects from exposure to contaminated air in aircraft which the CAA, Airlines and the U.K. Government refuse to accept due to a lack of scientific evidence -
because none of them have ever bothered to collect any data or commission any studies- because they don’t care.
Crew are replaceable - and new crew are employed on cheaper contracts.
Passengers are never informed that they have been involved in a fume event.

Please read and understand the science:

Useful information if you have been in a FUME EVENT:

This is just another ‘tip of the iceberg’ list - from available information. Fume events are occurring regularly and are constantly hidden by airlines and regulators such as the CAA. The aviation industry is self-regulated.
