From sinkspur's post it sounds like it happened after the flight, while they were on the runway.

Local news here reporting that two went into hospital and were in good condition. No critical mentioned. Though they did mention two passengers became unconscious during the flight.

This leak apparently occurred during the flight and conditions deteriorated as the flight progressed.

Southwest is noted for the lack of problems or accidents.

Bad maintenance, screw up during maintenance, faulty part, overstressed on landing, all of the above, etc.

Was BWI the scheduled destination? Couldn't have been perceived as that bad on boad if they didn't divert.

Southwest has never had a fatal crash although they came close once when a 737 overran the the runway and crashed into as gas station outside the airport.

Any truth to the rumor a belly-full-of-burritos Michael Moore was aboard this flight...and blew an escape valve?

Plane Apparently Lands With Unconscious Passengers
Cause Unclear; Flight Traffic Stopped Thursday Evening

POSTED: 11:14 pm EDT July 15, 2004
UPDATED: 11:47 pm EDT July 15, 2004

LINTHICUM, Md. -- A plane landed at Baltimore-Washington International Airport late Thursday night apparently with several people unconscious.


FLIGHT DELAYS
Airport Delays


A Southwest Airlines flight from Houston that was supposed to dock at BWI's Gate C11 is reported to have as many as 12 people onboard who were not conscious when the plane landed, WBAL-TV 11 News reporter John Sherman reported. It is unclear as to why the people were possibly unconscious.

But airline officials told 11 News that one person was passed out on the plane and others may have been sick. Airline officials believe the illness may be food-related.

Fire-rescue crews from Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties responded to the airport, where as many as 20 ambulances were observed, Sherman reported.

As many as four Anne Arundel County medic units and at least one Baltimore County medic unit remain on standby status, but officials from both county departments said they did not transport anyone to hospitals.

Sherman reported seeing two planes possibly on the airport's runway, surrounded by police vehicles. Since the incident, air traffic at BWI has been slow. In fact, Sherman reported at 11 p.m. that he had not seen a plane land or take off from the airport since arriving at the scene.

Watch 11 News throughout the morning, and refresh this page often, for updates.

They don't serve food on SW other than those pre-packaged snacks.
