One wonders....dis-satisfied employee perhaps?
I remember the Machinists popping slides and cutting wires in the weeks before the EAL strike. The union, naturally, denounced these events as isolated incidents.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Federal investigators say a cargo carrier whose plane was burned in an unexplained fire had received a threat a few days before.
The National Transportation Safety Board disclosed the information Thursday. The board did not mention any link between the threat and the fire Saturday.
The blaze damaged a Boeing 767 flown by cargo company ABX Air at San Francisco International Airport. No one was injured.
The fire burned a hole through the upper fuselage of the plane, just behind the cockpit.
Several federal agencies are investigating.
