Just to show what happens when there's a uncontrollable cockpit fire.

Good thing it was on the ground at the time. Goes to show what SwissAir Flight 111 would have been like when they had to deal with that in the air.

Surely is pretty messed up!

Matthew names it. The same thing happening while being in flight and . This happened a while ago, huh? But it's interesting to see what a small ignition source can cause. Plus oxygen.

The aircraft was found to differ from Boeing's design in that a clamp supporting the first officer's wiring to the oxygen mask light panel was missing. The wiring was not sleeved and a large loop of unsupported wire was found. The investigation determined that about 280 aircraft including all of Egyptair's Boeing 777s were delivered that way.

Mmm, great. :Worried: I hope they ask(ed) why. Edited. Here's the report. http://www.civilavia...19-09-2012a.pdf

 

The above text from the article may be misleading. It should read.

The aircraft was found to differ from Boeing's current design in that a clamp. This explains the 'why', they've later revised the design concerning the oxygen hoses and wiring.

Wow..talk about Quality Control! I remember when Boeing delivered B737-400s with rudder cabling reversed in the 1980s.

If it's Boeing I ain't going :lol:

You can add to this the 787s, looks like fuel line connectors have not been properly installed, leading to an emergency landing of a 787.

 

 

Yes, there were fuel leaks on the 787 a few days ago.
