Arcing Event?
Thanks
It's tending to confirm what I'd been hearing about a wiring-related arc-tracking fire (akin to the Swissair Event).
Looks like the drastically revamped McDD electrical system for the 717 may not have managed to make wiring problems go away, even for a relatively young airframe. However the more data that is usually required to come to any conclusions is never available from the NTSB or FAA - unless the event reaches a newsworthiness quotient much greater than this one has.
It's all submerged in the fog of war.
