Spirit NK-517 fume event

This sound incredulous;
Capt nearly incapacitated on landing (while on O2);
Descent started early (at 20 min prior to landing?);
CO levels near lethal for some crew;
One crew suffered heart condition (which may be permanent);
All FAs in hospital for 3 days;
One FA with nerve-ending inflammation;
No Pax ill;
Full engine wet seal breach.

I don't dispute fume events or the cumulative effects of combustion contamination of air on crew, but unless independent confirmation is made available, my view of this other site's reporting will forever be jaded.
