Crash due to coffee spill on instrument panels?
Dear all,
Hope I'm posting on the right area
I remember hearing an accident long time ago, that an airplane (likely 737) crashed due to coffee spillage onto the center pedestal.
The story was coffee was spilled onto the center pedestal in the cockpit, and during flight, flight crew received their 1st engine fire warning, which was false.
The crew did what they need to do at that time, going through engine fire and all.
However latter on, the other engine also had a fire warning, thinking this must have been a false alarm (what are the odds of having both engine on fire for no appearant reason), the crew elected to keep the only ening running and divert to the nearest airport.
Unfortunately, the second engine fire was the real thing, and eventualy they crashed.
I'm not sure about the details, but I have this strong impression of similiar as stated above, and the key was, the false warning was CAUSED BY BEVERAGE SPILLS.
I've been doing a lot of search but can't find anything, does anyone has any ideas?
Any clue would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advanec
