Simon hat mal richtig gute investigative Recherchearbeit betrieben und ist auf folgendes gestoßen:
A Lufthansa Airbus A380-800, registration D-AIMB performing flight LH-454 from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to San Francisco,CA (USA) with an unknown number of passengers and 24 crew, was climbing out of Frankfurt when a strong chemical odour of dirty socks was observed in cockpit and cabin. The flight crew contacted dispatch who told the flight crew that one of the engines had been washed prior to departure, the bleed air suppy was deactivated on that engine and the odour dissipated. The aircraft continued the flight to San Francisco. During the descent towards San Francisco the odour re-appeared even stronger than on departure despite the bleed air still being deactivated on the washed engine. The aircraft landed safely in San Francisco.
As a precaution following the fumes events two of the flight attendants went to see the San Francisco's doctor assigned by Lufthansa to seek advice, but the doctor wasn't available, only a sign indicating on the door that he'd be back shortly, however, the doctor didn't return the entire afternoon. The two joined the crew for their scheduled return flight and worked normally on the return flight.
Arriving at home immediately after the return flight one of the two flight attendants seeking medical advice in San Francisco felt very sick. During subsequent medical checks it turned out that the flight attendant had received serious injuries, that are still seriously affecting the flight attendant's health more than two years later rendering the flight attendant unable to work due to headache, permanent tiredness, lack of concentration, lack of energy, burning eyes and related shortcomings.
