  • This free flight on Japan Airlines in 1975 heading to Paris, would end up being the passengers' worst nightmare.
    The flight attendants were ready to serve breakfast, reheating a stack of ham omelettes to begin their meal service. The passengers woke up, hungry after several hours of flying, and excited to eat a freshly prepared breakfast.
    Little did they know, these eggs would take down the entire plane.
    Let’s get into it!

Under good conditions, you will start to see visible growth in as little as 3-4 hours on the media. That's how fast some of these can multiply.

The boys bathroom was on the left and the girls bathroom was on the right and there was a sink in the middle of the bathroom. It was made mandatory to them to wash their hands there after coming out.

    Don't know if this is the case everywhere, but apparently the captain gets first choice on the food and co-pilots have to opt for something else entirely to prevent both getting sick. Also crew meals are different from the passenger ones (and usually quite nice).

      So that’s a common rumour and is partly true.
      Pilots do indeed get the first choice but the captain lets the FO go first. there is nothing stoping them from them from ordering the same meal. Most pick different meals due to what they feel like eating at the time.

    • @FireStriker_

      From what I've heard it's common courtesy for the captain to let the FO choose first. They commonly get to choose from the 1st class meal choices, and I'd argue that they eat staggered so the other pilot is not busy eating and can still manage the plane.

    • @wolfy8006

      @@Dh-rp7gg Really late but my friend had this and finally kept it at Bay with garlic (pills work but fresh garlic is more effective). Garlic has multiple mechanisms for antimicrobial actions and immune boosting properties. MRSA came about because of antibiotic overuse in the population. It has not had a chance to develop resistance to fresh garlic. Antibiotics are also derived from natural things in nature and have that one compound isolated from the source. The original source often has hundreds of other anti oxidants and other compounds that work synergistically which make it much, much harder for things to become resistant. It's not only garlic, but a ton of "foods" like tumeric also have antimicrobial and immune boosting properties.
      I would say it doesn't hurt to try since it's "food" and relatively cheap. Also, the way most antibiotics works is that it inhibits growth of bacteria, so it your body can fight it off more easily at a low level. If you're immune system is severely weakened, antibiotics won't work or won't be effective. You're best bet is to make sure you're always getting enough sleep, eating relatively healthy to maximize your chance that your body can keep the bacteria at bay. Eating healthy also helps with speed of wound healing.

Some businesses these days will even pay for you to learn another language if you travel a lot or meet up with different people) and they are making it easier for others; but back than, it was probably harder to learn some languages as it wasn't as common or had as many resources.

Furthermore, if someone had died from this food poisoning, the charges would be more severe. That last part is just my opinion. Like I said, getting arrested is very unlikely in this scenario.

      As Brew stated, the chef should have worn gloves when handling food.
      That's what the instructors taught the students if they have any cuts/injuries on their hands, one NEEDS to wear gloves.

    Talk about a Danger Zone. Some people don’t understand the true dangers serving food. Commercial kitchens have strict standards for this exact reason. To be honest companies and the public don’t value their food service employees. Employees in the industry make less money, even though they do tough work of sanitizing, labeling, and temperature tracking. If you don’t pay your food handling employees right, they might not take their job seriously. If you don’t pay attention to temperatures or allergies, you are putting people at serious risk.

      I mean in their case, the flight it nearly a full day (Including the night hours). You would need to bring your breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the plane to not go hungry. And you can defenitly not eat all of that in one sitting before your flight. You can't even bring food with you. Snacks maybe, but not meals. Plus there is also the night times. You could eat a bunch for dinner, and then sleep a long night. The time zones will probably affect the hours I think and so what would be breakfast time in your time my now, it will sill be night time. I don't know how time works, but it weirds me out for the most part because it keeps changing when you move to another time zone. You will eventually go hungry after you wake up till the morning and they will have to serve breakfast if there is still a long time to go.

    The seat map of the 747 you’ve shown is with a stretched upper deck, which allowed seats to be placed at the front and the back of the door. However the 747 that was involved in this incident did not have a stretched upper deck. Just to point that out.

    Yeah, some of the stories I've heard from food processing... and some of the habits I've seen from people working there. Yeah... terrifying.
    Just last summer, I saw a guy covered in gyproc dust walk into the food processing room of a local turkey deli. They were renovating one of the buildings, and he apparently thought it was brilliant to go into the main food processing to hose himself off. I thought he was someone contracted for construction... but apparently he is a regular employee there.

      I won't get into details but trust me, between the conditions they're kept in and employee handling, even if it was safe when it got there it might not be by the time it gets out on display.
      And that's assuming it got there in a good state. A lot of times things are already a problem when they get there.
      It's a testament to how good most people's immune systems are that more people don't get sick.

    I remember having that food poisoning in my senior year of high school. The cause was also my lunch accumulating that bacteria because of bad refrigeration for a long amount of time. It was so bad I had to be hospitalized and dextrosed with water (or whatever that was) for like 2 days… I can't imagine going through that on a freaking plane with hundreds of other people as well and IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY. 😨

    4) Raw fruits and vegetables
    5) Leafy greens like lettuce and sprouts
    6) Uncooked rice
    7) Shrimp
    8) Oysters

    I suffered from food poisoning only once in my life, thank God. I was 5 years old. My Mama & I were on a cross-country road trip from North Carolina to California and back. We were leaving Cali & stopped at a McDonald's to get some food for the road. We got on the road again, eating our lunch. Mom was munching on a few 🍟 while I was eating my 🍔. I had eating most of it when I started feeling sick. I started puking uncontrollably. Mom grabbed an empty large sized fast-food cup & told me to puke in the cup, while she desperately looked for a place to pull off the freeway. We ended up in a motel parking lot just off the road. The cup I was puking in was filled to the brim at this point. I got out & started puking in the parking lot. We ended up staying at that motel over night. Thankfully I recovered in a day or two. It was so traumatizing that I didn't eat a 🍔 for years after that.
