NEW YORK — An American Airlines passenger died after a
flight attendant told her he couldn't give her any oxygen
and then tried to help her with faulty equipment, including
an empty oxygen tank, a relative said.
I'd say you're really grasping at straws trying to blame this one on the
FAA.


Reduced and pencil whipped Federal safety inspections ring a
bell?

I must have missed the class where they said the FAA is responsible for
inspecting the medical condition of passengers.



Oxygen tanks and required safety equipment on commercial
airlines is the responsibility of FAA inspectors and the
airlines.

I was referring to required safety EQUIPMENT not medical
diagnosis. American Airlines is claiming their equipment
worked fine. Now the finger pointing begins.

Every time someone dies on an aircraft the airlines blame
the FAA and the FAA blames the airlines. All while people
die. Sad state of affairs.
