Narrative:
Boarded aircraft and noticed unusual odor on airplane. During passenger boarding; odor became much stronger. Odor burned eyes and nose. Captain decided to deplane passengers; flight attendants from back called and reported smell and also that passengers were complaining. Upon leaving the airplane my throat was starting to burn and I had the beginning of what would become a very bad headache. Airplane taken out of service.
