It crashes? But honestly, how would that happen? And close enough to a landing strip to land evacuate the plane?

- hef19898 3y agoWe talk about the flamability difference between a carbon-composite and aluminium hull design. That fire had what, almost 20 minutes to burn before the cabin flashed?
- itishappy 3y agoYup. I'm far from an authority on the matter (just learned about the Air Canada flight further up the thread and thought it was relevant), but I'd guess this supports the "it crashes" hypothesis.
- umeshunni 3y agoFascinating: The accident became a watershed for global aviation regulations, which were changed in the aftermath of the accident to make aircraft safer. New requirements to install smoke detectors in lavatories, strip lights marking paths to exit doors, and increased firefighting training and equipment for crew became standard across the industry, while regulations regarding evacuation were also updated. Since the accident, it has become mandatory for aircraft manufacturers to prove their aircraft could be evacuated within 90 seconds of the commencement of an evacuation, and passengers seated in overwing exits are now instructed to assist in an emergency situation.
