I just want to wish both of you good luck.

Yup, seen this type of stuff happen on the ground. Once saw a lav on a small jet (Hawker) get cleaned with bleach water which to the guy doing the service seemed smart, however mixing bleach (chlorine) with urine (ammonia) creates the same reaction we've been taught about with mixing household cleaners. Needless to say a nice little fog formed and started filling the aft cabin, luckily nobody got sick.

/Lav services suck.

Rectum, it nearly killed 'em.

It concluded that problem was caused by too much formaldehyde being used to clean the lavatory during maintenance at Exeter airport.

The things you learn on FARK. Doesn't formaldehyde = embalming fluid? Who knew thats what went into those toilets. Always thought it was blue clorox.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

It does a lot of fun things to inorganic substances. It breaks down some fun oil based compounds.

Every time I take a crap, I wipe out at least one endangered species, and share the smell with every man within a two block radius.

Bwahahaha, that happened at this place i used to work. Someone had been pissing in the toilet tank for like 2 months (it was a fake tank with a small sealed presurized tank inside), and when they figured out where the smell was coming from, the idiot matinence guy dumped a bunch of bleach in there to clean it. Had to evacuate part of the store, it was hilarious.

Damn. Beat me to it.

Doesn't it have to ferment for some time, though.

Sorry about that. It was the chicken vindaloo.

Sounds like a pretty crappy flight.

So... if pilots and crew experience "drunkenness" from the lavatories on the planes, what happens to people that stick around the general vicinity of the Taco Bell bathrooms for prolonged periods of time?

They get hourly paychecks to make tacos?

Pssh the unlikely tag was more appropriate. It just seems a little too convenient that a certain position in the airline field is stereotypically held by drunks.

/Nice try though, cap'n

F'fark's sake, wtf? What the hell were they doing using formaldehyde to clean the toilet? This stuff is a carcinogen.

We need a list of things that aren't carcinogens. After all the weekly news reports, I'm running out of things that don't cause cancer.

From the article, "All five donned gasmasks."

Is the writer trying to say they put on oxygen masks ? I've never heard of a plane that is equipped with gas masks.

Huh.. as someone who gets the exact same symptoms as these pilots were complaining about from most aerosol bathroom air fresheners, and certain perfumes, it now makes me wonder if the secret not-allowed-to-reveal fragrance ingredient that zaps me is formaldehyde.
