Plane diverted due to strong bleach smell
A plane had to be diverted after a bleach smell made the cabin crew feel too ill to work.
The Air Canada aircraft was flying from Toronto to Vancouver with 146 people on board when the odour was noticed in the forward cabin.
The flight was forced to divert to Winnipeg when two members of the cabin crew started to feel unwell and could not continue their duties.
The Canadian TSB reported that maintenance had been performed on a clogged drain in the forward galley prior to departure from Toronto.
