This morning I read
this article in the Guardian. This afternoon I wondered whether it could explain MH370. The Guardian wrote
At the time of the Heathrow fire, there were an estimated 3,650 identical RESCU 406AFN ELT batteries in service, fitted to numerous aircraft types
And also
Had the aircraft been in flight, the location of the ELT, which was above ceiling panels at the rear of the passenger cabin, meant crew or passengers would not have immediately noticed the fire. “It is not known how long it may take for such a fire to be detected and the location of the ELT could prolong the time taken to locate the source,” the report said.
Is it possible that such a fire on MH370 could explain the incapacitation of the crew and PAX, and also the deactivation of the transponders?
This is a question from me, not a hypothesis.
