Kip Powick Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 CNN reports that an Alaskan Airlines B737 at SEA -TAC airport had to rush back to the gate due to pax becoming seriously ill after having post deicing fumes permeated the aircraft... Naturally CNN is making the issue sound like "The end is nigh"....even brought on a chemical expert who quoted surveys by Swedes showing devasting effects of inhaling fumes from the glycol mixture ..... Another CNN report..an unemployed company exec from a small mortage firm went to WalMart and bought $1300.00 worth of $10.00 gift cards and then proceeded to give them out to Walmart Customers........he was booted out of the store by management. Walmart offered no explanation and no one from WalMart would appear on TV. ((Me thinks they didn't like folks actually using the gift cards...better that they expire...which they are allowed to do in the US)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
