What Really Happened ?
Despite all the discussion, we really do not know what happened, nor the nature of the problem.
Firstly, was the carry-on overweight? Did the injury occur while the SLF or member of the CC was placing it in the overhead ? Did they lose their grip and drop the carry-on bag ? Was the injury to the owner of the bag, or to some unfortunate soul who was already seated under the bin ? -- and finally, did this occur during boarding, while in flight ( bin collapse or cover failure) or during deplaning ? Each of these questions can lead to a very different discussion. Does anyone know ?
While asking if anyone knows, how do they handle an FAA approved oxygen concentrator in OZ ? The smallest I have seen is about 8 kg and is approved as cabin luggage, if required by the passenger, in most of the world.
