People like you really annoy me. Bitter old bloke, are you?

This thread is about smoking, and undeniably people have died on aircraft due to smoking.

You will note my post was vague on the facts- because they are there if you want to waste your time and look.

So, for the benefit of anal-retentive a*seholes like yourself, interested only in shooting people down rather than contributing:

2/6/83 Air Canada DC-9 (sorry not a DC-10)
Dallas-Toronto. Landed with a lavatory fire. 23 killed by fire when main door opened, fuelling fire.

11/7/73 Varig B707
Paris (Orly) Landed with toilet fire. 123 dead, overcome by fumes before they could be evacuated.

Specific enough for you?

Apologists for the cigarette companies really are a sad lot (note the date of Varig- 1 9 7 3, you know, back when it was 'safe').
