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) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
My question exactly. What is the threat?
Mr. Baker is correct, and so is the statement in the article that the flight attendants will take care of anyone in the lavatory.
The headline on this story is very inaccurate, misleading, sensatonalist and foolish. The FAA didn't do it "in secret." This is an example of very poor reporting, originally by a TV station.

Lets just quit flying. Flying itself is becoming a threat.
What else do you think the FAA and airlines should be removing besides the o2 generators from lavatories on commercial aircrafts?
Another question we should ask ourselves... Will this make you feel safer?
maybe they should do away with the lavatories altogether. need the bathroom raise your hand and the plane would land at the nearest airport. Then resume your flight once you finished your business.
However, what is the risk that's being prevented?
