Some Scary Info (if confirmed)
Was shown a photo of the cockpit yesterday, damn scary & do not wish to imagine the same scenario airborne.
The info I was given, by someone who knows the Capt, is that the fire was caused by electrical shorting/sparking (Gen on Bus? ) which ignited an oxygen leak from the line leading (close to or under the CB panel ) from the bottle to the Capts quick donning mask.
He further stated that Boeing have reputedly said only a few aircraft are affected, suggesting they either found out remarkably quickly, or that this was a known fault.
Anyone know of any AD's relating to this ?
The potential consequences if airborne don't bear contemplation.
