Emergency oxygen masks removed from airline lavatories
The federal government has ordered safety equipment be removed from 6,000 commercial passenger planes, and the Federal Aviation Administration kept the decision to do it a secret. It is officially called Air Worthiness Directive 2011-04-09 ... that orders airlines to remove the emergency oxygen generators from all lavatories. The airlines completed the work on the 6,000 aircraft in the U.S. fleet on Friday, March 4. (www.click2houston.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Why my typing may not always be spot on...
You Mr. Hoppes are an idiot. You repeated verbatim everything which was written in the article. I can tell from your podcast that you have not the first clue about what it is exactly that you are talking about in regards to safety or aviation in general.
Frankly, you should be quite ashamed at yourself for posting this crap out here on the internet.
I tell you what, give me a link to the A.D., and I'll retract my statement. You find this specific one, and provide the link, and I'll say that you actually researched this before running off with the commentary posted in the original article.

Meant to say "Anyone here who has..."
Oxygen generators are what brought down Valujet 592.
As for this: "If you have a rapid decompression and you're in the bathroom, there's a good chance you won't survive it, and the rest of the airplane will," the airline industry source said.
This news retards need a new industry source. Rapid decompression is a very survivable event. As Daniel said, it is much more important the crew is breathing oxygen and can bring the aircraft down to a safe altitude in less than 5 minutes.
Passengers may pass out, but they will regain conciousness. Only here who has done altitude chamber training up to 25,000 feet knows you can go for several minutes before passing out.
An commercial airline flightdeck crew will have the aircraft from the mid 30s down to less than 15,000 feet in less than 5 minutes.
Remove the oxygen generators from the bathroom. Hell, you want to prevent terrorism, remove all of them, liquor the passengers up with free booze, and keep the cabin altitude around 15,000.
No seriously, remove the things from the lavs. Who cares. This is just another prime example of the media trying to sensationalize a story.

Apparently the link went bad. Try this:

Please, go do research before blasting off like an idiot and shooting from the hip.
