Fire in Air Canada jet Lav Likely Caused 23 Deaths
Canadian Transport inquiry hears that an overheated toilet flush motor in the lavatory of a Dallas to Toronto DC-9 may have sparked a deadly June fire. Electrical expert Max Vermis says the motor’s heat damaged wiring and melted the motor casing, while McDonnell Douglas engineer Serge Clayton argues the damage was from an external heat source. The NTSB led inquiry investigates origin, prevention, and safety procedures as pilots landed safely and crew acted prudently.
