Thanks for your reply, Martin Baker. I have read the report, and it clearly debunks many myths about the accident which are apparantly still being propagated, even in this thread. The analysis in the report is clear on the fact that this accident was simply not survivable.

The very idea that this crew would have been alive had they not followed the procedures has been proven wrong in the analysis, but apparantly some posters in this thread haven't bothered to read the facts before venting their opinions. The accident surely made a good case for re-designing electrical smoke/fire procedures, but that wouldn't have saved this crew when the Mylar was already burning.
