Shipped by air!

It's all gonna have to be barged in.

This is gonna hurt the rural hospitals and anything that needs O2.

The new law slipped past a lot of people in Alaska.

Dad came home from Port meeting havung this tid bit of news.
Will look for the new law but maybe you that are more internet savy will find out more.

Lemme get this straight.



You can ship explosives, flammable gasses, flammable liquids, pressurized tanks, ammunition, radioactive material and more but no O2???

This makes no sense.  Don't large commercial and cargo aircraft carry 02 tanks for emergency oxygen in case of sudden depressurization at high altitudes?

It's also affecting rural construction for welding.  I think it is larger, like no pressurized bottles not just 22.

The local hospital is gonna have to have all the O2 barged in this summer.

It is crazy with all the other stuff that gets freighted out on cargo.

Are you sure this isn't just for for flights that also carry passengers? What about Cargo only planes with HAz Mat authorization? I'm sure some carrier will sort this out so that they can deliver the ozzzzz.

Until that day,

Yep.  It's also what crashed that ValueJet airliner many years ago.

Actually, It was chemical oxygen generators that caused the fire on Valuejet.  Last year, A QANTAS 747 blew a hole in the right side from a Oxygen Bottle.
