when you read that news release you can but wonder what was the truth

if a nut case lit several fires in all the paper that accumulates in the waste bins
and if the fires were quickly put out then the cabin crew are doing what they were trained to do, proficiently. If the perpetrator was not identified and restrained by the pilots (who have handcuffs , baton, axe), then they might be found lacking

were not lessons learned from the Saudi DC-10 heading for Mecca in 1983?
the failure of that crew, led by the captain in denial, led to the deaths of all persons on board

the doco reconstructing that flight should be watched by everyone whose
job it is to act quickly and decisively to a major threat whether in flight or on the ground
