I witnessed a oxygen fire on a Delta 727 in the late eighties at KSLC. It occurred in the E&E compartment and was impressive in its speed and the amount and toxicity of the smoke produced. One breath knocked the flight engineer to his knees and almost completely incapacitated him. I don't see a aircraft surviving a O2 fed fire to fly for 5 or 6 hours.
