Early this morning (Friday) I saw and heard a report on some kind of release on a passenger jet in Houston. At least I think it was Houston.
The video showed a plane near, but not at, the terminal with uniformed crews swarming around. They said some workers (and passengers?) reported eye and respiratory irritation.
Now I can’t find anything about the incident and the news hasn’t reported any more all day. I searched the networks and CNN.
So, Houston, are you still there?

I can’t find an article. Perhaps it was a recap of previous air travel problems?
Here’s the first sentence of an AP story that’s probably what you’re referring to, “Officials could not find the source of an unidentified liquid found on a U.S. postal service box in the cargo hold of a Continental Airlines plane at Bush Intercontinental Airport that made three workers sick with its odor.”
Thanks, guys. I finally found it. Those silly Texans.

Well, that didn’t work! All fixed.
The leaking suitcase and dry ice in the toilets appears to have morphed into a smoking, leaking suitcase.
I guess it sounds scarier when reported that way.
