Looking at whats in the cargo hold, an e cigarette, batteries, something in the planes batteries or something in the cargo hold that shouldnt have been loaded. Good news is it was a newer 737 all the new model planes and all of the Passenger Service planes have smoke and fire detection and suppression equipment. This is good news in terms of what the plane can do, and they had early detection. Thats thanks to a crash in 1996, a value jet, and families fought for smoke and fire detection systems in the cargo hold. There are a lot of modern advances to let this become a good news story. Injuries were probably from the slides, when people do emergency evacuation, usually people are injured on the slides, long way down, twisted ankles, but thats a small price to pay for getting out in 90 seconds or less. How do investigators go about looking for the source of that smoke . They have a lot of things at their disposal, obviously check the cargo and loading manifest, look at recent maintenance
