Anyone know if there has ever been a case where in a transport aircraft, the flight deck window(s0 were opened due to smoke obstructing vision? The downside is feeding the fire with oxygen of course.
Yup, PanAmerican, at KBOS, many years ago.
The checklist mentioned...no side window opening advised, however, it was tried, anyway.
The result was not so good, all crew died.
Smoke/fume/fire cause...improperly packed dangerous goods, in that case.
As I recall, some of the shipper employees went to...jail.
Hope so...just where they belonged.
