You guys are serious right?? A fire developed, the crew failed to declare an emergency, switched off the ATC and ACARS, then the plane flew for 7 hours down the Indian Ocean??
No.

I do know what occurs when halons are used on a Li ion fire. That is fact and I recounted it, with FAA citations. I also gave my thoughts (based on my own first hand experience) as to why it might be that halons are ineffective in that kind of case (as a matter of fairly simple chemistry).

That is ENTIRELY separate from suggesting that something along those lines did or might have occurred here. I have not done so (read my post carefully); indeed, my own (irrelevant) opinion is that the deliberate course changes indicate it didn't happen.
