Bad smell forces plane to ground

A FOUL odour caused a Sydney-bound Qantas flight to be cancelled, leaving stranded passengers to spend the night in Perth's domestic airport.
A Qantas spokeswoman said flight QF566 to Sydney was cancelled last night because of a "recurring issue of odour detected in the cabin".

Not many online News Stories on this, but the TV News had more.
They boarded the plane (747) twice before Qantas cancelled the flight.
Accommodation was not provided due to Hotels being booked out, due to an Arts Festival.
An older lady collapsed and the paramedics were called, she was taken off to hospital.
Qantas didn't open the lounge, and basically gave people blankets and pillows to sleep on the floor, including footage of a young infant sleeping on the floor.
At least they had the terminal to sleep in, unlike those people in Sydney recently, who had to sleep in bus shelters.
