It would be nice if the ZA thread here (PPRuNe) could be accessed, I cannot. There were photographs, and many enlightening posts as to the fire that caused the emergency in Laredo.
There are two myths, or at least two explanations as I recall.
1. The fire started as the result of an itinerant 'tool' left in P100 by a 'workman'.
I call this the "numbskull" theory.....
2. FOD occluded venting, allowing the bay to overheat, and ignite......
This is the "dumb janitor" theory....
There was smoke in the cabin, as I remember.....
