Medical treatment inmidst a cloud of Mace?
Advertisements [?]
What happened in the business class of AA 11?

We know from Betty Ong that in the very beginning of the hijacking, a breath-attacking stuff ("Mace") was sprayed in the front of the plane.

But Amy Sweeney relates a medical treatment going on in the first class:

/// She said they had stabbed the two first-class flight attendants, Barbara Arestegui and Karen Martin, whose station at the front of the plane likely made them the first crew members to confront the hijackers. She said they had also slashed the throat of a business class passenger, who was bleeding severely.

The flight attendants gave the injured people oxygen, and made an announcement over the PA system asking if there was a doctor or nurse on board. Sweeney told Woodward the passengers in the coach section were calm and that they believed there was some type of medical emergency at the front of the plane. ///

So let's get that straight: Whilst suffering from the Mace themselves, the flight attendants put an oxygen mask onto the injured person's face. And they make the passengers in the coach section believe that there is a "type of medical emergency" in the first class. Obviously despite the Mace there was no coughing and sneezing, because the coach passengers didn't realize the swindle and the seriousness of the situation.

Why didn't the flight attendants take the injured person back to the coach section instead of treating him with oxygen in a Mace-contaminated environment (the first class)?
