The fire on Air Canada flight 797 probably wasn't caused by a cigarette but the NTSB report on it says (page 61) "While an actual in-flight fire is an extremely rare occurence [...] [reports of smoke in the cabin] often turn out to be smoke from an overheating [lavatory] flushing motor or waste ignited by a discarded cigarette". It's suggested that the captain might have landed that plane sooner if smoke in the lavatory wasn't a fairly common occurrence. | |

Fixed spelling mistakes and removed offensive reference to idiots. They have rights too.
