"ODOR" causing sickness on BUR->OAK flight 6/12 AM
They just broke into the local news with a SWA flight inbound from BUR to gate 21 @ OAK with reports of a strong smell in the cabin and ambulances called to the tarmac. Passengers and an FA complaining of sickness.
FWIW it's the SWA aircraft painted in the killer whale livery.
EDIT- was flight 508 actually OAK->BUR and turned around. All removed from plane.

UPDATE
They are now saying it was *headed* to BUR and turned around.
"Strong odor" and an FA felt light headed and sick as did other passengers.
