No, you may be confusing this with the BEA Vanguard accident in Belgium in, I think, the late sixties or early seventies that was caused by corrosion at the rear bulkhead and most likely caused by fluid leakage from the rear lavatories into the bilges.

There were considerable engineering inspections required for many if not all pressurised aircraft subsequently as far as I remember.
