Many moons ago I went tech in Cairo with a DC8 loaded with 46 tonnes of pineapples. About six hours after landing the Flight Engineer went out to the airport to remove a faulty part to save time. When the F/E entered the aircraft he saw smoke coming from two pallets of pineapples. All the doors were opened and the smoke stopped. Everything you touched in that DC8 felt sticky for months!
