Two flight attendants on Flight 322, which departed Seattle just before 5 p.m., reported feeling ill after the powder intermittently sprinkled down from an air vent in the galley at the front of the plane, said the spokeswoman, Ann Zaninovich.
One was taken to a hospital to be evaluated, she said, adding that no passengers reported any symptoms and the plane’s pilots were not affected.
A preliminary investigation into the plane, which landed just before 7 p.m., revealed that the substance was probably residue from the aircraft’s de-icing system, which isn’t toxic, she said.
Emergency crews — including the San Jose Fire Department and its haz-mat team — boarded the plane “to determine what exactly was happening on board,” said Rosemary Barnes, a spokeswoman for the airport. She said emergency personnel met the plane at its gate soon after it taxied in.

No pic of the flight attendants?
How do I know how concerned I’m supposed to be without pics of the flight attendants?
One of them is Ann?
Huh.
So, not real concerned, me.
They look very happy.
Don’t have a pic of the two.
These are not them

Why would de-icing chemicals be falling (as dry powder) INSIDE the aircraft????
Dunno
Little Britain guy?
But the two could be like them?
Ok. I’m concerned now.
If it would not land me in jail, I would love to drop and break one of those curly, politically correct florescent light bulbs that are full of mercury. The official EPA hazardous instructions and procedures for dealing with a broken bulb read just like a chemical spill. The entire plane would be taken out of service and moon-suited hazmat soldiers would have to clean it from top to bottom.
