AP reports(17/8):
"A jumbo jet carrying 412 passengers landed safely at Winnipeg airport after a pilot reported a spilled drink had shorted out part of the electrical system, filling a portion of the plane with smoke.
The pilot of Virgin Atlantic Airlines flight 02, en route from San Francisco to London, radioed in his initial distress call shortly after 9:30 p.m. CDT Friday (0030 GMT Saturday).
He said there was smoke in the passenger cabin of the Boeing 747 and that he was dumping fuel south of Winnipeg.
............................................................ .......
After a few minutes, the pilot radioed that smoke in the cabin was decreasing, and that he would be able to land the plane soon. Shortly afterward, he reported it appeared a passenger had spilled a drink and shorted out the aircraft's entertainment system.
The jet landed without incident shortly after 10 p.m. CDT (0100 GMT Saturday) and was guided to the terminal, followed by three airport fire trucks.
The passengers were not required to leave the plane."
