https://www.jpost.com/omg/article-720886An Israeli passenger (https://www.jpost.com/omg/article-717869) caused a fire in the toilet cabin during an El Al flight to Bangkok on Friday, according to Ynet.
The incident took place on a flight that took off last night from Tel Aviv, after a passenger who probably wanted to smoke without being detected threw a cigarette butt into the trash can in the toilet compartment (https://www.jpost.com/omg/article-717528) - but the cigarette ignited the toilet paper inside, which caused both the trash can and the toilet to catch fire.
"A passenger on a flight to Bangkok was caught smoking in the plane's bathroom, and there was a fear of a fire breaking out in the cabin. The air crew (https://www.jpost.com/omg/article-720226) and the captains took care of the incident immediately and with caution by using the dedicated fire extinguishers," El Al said in a statement.
While I remember the days when we could all smoke during a flight, most airlines I am familiar with have been pretty serious about no smoking for decades.
