Cypriot \"HELIOS\" airliner crash in Greece
EHM-0005 Maarten:
I think we can scrap immediate poisonning due to food, because they were not in the stadium that food was being served.
EHM-1366 Themis:
I don't know exactly when they reported that airconditioning problem, if it was 20 mins after departing, it is enough time for the 737 to reach cruise alt and start serving refreshments.
EHM-0005 Maarten:
... but not for the pilots ;). I have never seen any pilot that wanted his food while he still had to finish something (even paperwork)
EHM-0005 Maarten:
I just read the offical announcement from a Greek official telling that the two F16 pilots saw 2 unknown occupants trying to take control of the aircraft. He told that they could not be identified as passengers nor terrorists.
As I said before, I stick to the idea that the pilots were incapable to handle the aircraft.
EHM-1366 Themis:
but if this is the case the airconditioning problem follows the refreshments. First they reach cruise alt, they order their refreshments, and then they feel uncomfortable (they suppose the airconditioning is not cooling enough). That makes sense why the passengers were feeling cold, and maybe that's the reason why the captain went out to check if the passengers cabin had the same problem too.
