Another possibility is if this was a 737-7H4 (-700 series, H4 is Boeing's customer code for Southwest), it could be a brand new aircraft. You mix all the chemicals emitting from the epoxy, carpeting, upholstery, paint, etc and you can get enough to make sensitive people very sick. Apparently that happened on a KLM 777-206ER on one of its first flights.

There weren't any Middle Eastern musicians traveling on board, were there?

12 people were unconscious and they think it might be food related? I don't think so.

Food related?

Southwest serves honey-roasted peanuts on its flights.

Food related story says 12 sick, one unconscious.

We won't get a straight story for a little while on this.

Strange. As Sinkspur posted SW not known for problems.

Probably unrelated, but it appears that the CEO was fired today.

Depending on the flight, you may also get some kind of cheese, crackers, and Slim-Jim type thing.

As posted, they don't serve food. Just prepackaged snacks , ice and sodas from cans.

Not fired. The CEO resigned for personal reasons.

Well, the only time I could keep a Slim Jim down was when I'd had four beers.

Food's not gonna provoke this reaction in one hour.

From post 3 36: 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,

What did I miss?
