The report says fumes seemed to be coming from cargo in this case. However I suspect an increasing number of us know colleagues who have been involved in incidents like the Germanwings one. They are deeply worrying at two levels. Pilot incapacitation possibilities over the middle of the ocean for example do not bear thinking about. The long term health issues for those exposed are also not looking good. The colleague I know who was involved in a documented incident suggested certain individuals seem to be more susceptible to showing immediate symptoms, but that does not mean the rest of us will have no long term effects.
