laptop fire??

Hmmm....after the Asiana loss the other day, I am wondering if this hole/fire was burnt thru the side from a laptop/LI ion fire at all - not sure if they use laptops or EFPs what ever class etc - but that would be the spot that the FO would likely have the computer while charging it ( maybe it was flat after the last sector and on charge who knows...??)

just making up lots of "what ifs and conjecture "but interesting to find out what caught fire... and of course the oxy mask is around there too... which might not have helped...

lucky to have occurred on the ground !
