Hello people,
I have just been watching a documentary on You Tube called "Estate: Swissair 111 The Untold Story 1998". They suggest that some sort of incendiary device may have somehow been placed on this aircraft. I have dismissed that, because I can't see how anybody could have got it onto the plane, or how they could have got it into the electronics bay behind the cockpit.
I have seen how easily a plastic coated copper electric cable could catch fire if it is shorted. A technician where I work accidentally caused a short on a cable between a 12V, 500 Amp battery, and the charger. It took only seconds for the copper to get red hot, melt the plastic and it caught fire.
I was wondering, was the cable insulation on the MD11 fire resistant? Were the cables on the entertainment system on the MD11 fire resistant. I should rather say, “Not flammable under any conditions?
Why didn't the fuse blow? Was a fuse ever installed for the entertainment system?
See the video. What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZXMaFtwBKU
