Because any cabin air temp gauge is accurate on the 737. They never read 90 because they are worthless.
That’s full on spin. No different than the media.
The truth is in the middle.
The incident aircraft is a 757-300...but don't let facts get in the way of a good rant!

What did not happen is passengers trapped in 111 degree heat for 4 hours as the press has certainly implied.
The interesting thing is there is almost no onboard video in contrast to the RyanAir incident.
Based on rumblings on Skynet, this is basically what happened.
