Oooh, That Smell: Sick Flight Crew Lands at Logan

102407-gasss.jpgA flight crew from DC to Boston became sick from possible carbon monoxide poisoning.

The source of the problem may not have been the plane the crew was flying on. WBZ reports that "the crew was working on a different flight earlier in the day and had complained about a smell on that jet."

Rampant speculation of gastrointestinal distress fired up at the thought of a funny smell. Wonkette offered a "he who smelt it, dealt it" theory. Fark's headline first said EVERYBODY PANIC (they love that) and then suggests that what is considered carbon monoxide poisoning today will be come ordinary flu tomorrow. The comment thread after the headline relies heavily on Airplane! jokes.

No passengers have said they are sick.
