Today's papers strongly suggest a fire in the avionics bay with a rapid shut down of all the system
They also suggest that the oxygen supply could have been breached further fuelling the fire while depriving crew of oxygen
Smoke was detected in the cockpit and toilet area
So really the question now is whether the fire was a result of an electrical fault or incendiary device fitted in the front portion of the aircraft
