to put it out and it would keep coming back. it was very very stubborn. and so that s why boeing reinvented the box on those planes. remember those planes are being used so they re drawing current, there was grounding issues, et cetera. so boeing redesigned the box. and the box is supposed to contain any kind of a battery fire. so it was very stubborn to put out. help me remember, what was the swissair flight where he went out to try to dump fuel over the ocean? that was the ife, in-flight entertainment system from new york to switzerland, to geneva. and that overheated. it caused a fire. it caused a fire which brought smoke into the cockpit. they knew about it. they tried to divert. they tried to get to canada. and they came quite close. but this was as a result of just sheer overwhelming of the smoke. and speaking of batteries, 16 days left or so of juice in the black box. does that intensify things for people?
know that this was going terribly wrong? well, there is a smoke and fire detection and suppression systems in the cargo holds of these wide-bodied planes. however, we know about this. and what happens and how it reignites and how difficult it is to put out because of the boeing 787 fires in boston and in japan. and the firefighters themselves reported that they kept trying to put it out and it would keep coming back. it was very very stubborn. and so that s why boeing reinvented the box on those planes. remember those planes are being used so they re drawing current, there was grounding issues, et cetera. so boeing redesigned the box. and the box is supposed to contain any kind of a battery fire. so it was very stubborn to put out. help me remember, what was the swissair flight where he went out to try to dump fuel over the ocean? that was the ife, in-flight entertainment system from new york to switzerland, to geneva.
