| | So, the O2 fueled an already existing fire or caused it?
| |
| |
| | I suspect that pumping the oxygen into the system somehow
| | started
| | the fi it probably is a new definition for the term "hot

| |
| |
| | Mm, nice.
| |
| | You heard about this?

| | It appears that they were lucky and the oxygen was'nt needed;
| | but
| | it
| | does remind me of some of the speculation surrunding the Paine
| | Stewart
| | case. Two hypotheses around my local airport were that 1) the
| | tank
| | was inadvertantly filled with nitrogen or 2) that someone
| | misread
| | the
| | labeling on the regulator on/off handle--which is
| | counterintuitively
| | labeled with "on" or "off" and arrows pointing which direction
| | to
| | turn
| | the knob for the desired result. I don't recall whether the
| | case
| | was
| | ever fully resolved; but a lot of pilots found a couple of
| | areas worthy of their maximum vigilance!
| |
| | Moe likely was they passed out before they even realised they
| | were
| | in
| | trouble on that one. More easily done than I'd certainly expect.
| |
| |
| | Bertie
| |
| | That was also suggested, and could well be the real answer.
| |
| |
| | Doesn't really matter. It's done and the only thing that matters
| | is
| | that
| | all the possibilities are looked at and equipment and training are
| | geared towards avoiding a repetition of the accident. Easier said
| | than
| | done.
