Though short in duration, these arcs can be up to 12,000 degrees F, igniting components or damaging other systems.

MikeD, do you have TV over there? Are really living in the lap of luxury and watching Nova all the time. From what my brother in law tells me, he is lucky to get a shower once a week. Just kidding!
I was particularly impressed with what they said about the 12,000 degree arcing, this is why i quoted you. ( the only reason I was teasing you is becuase you practically quoted all the major elements of the show.) This was a particularly impressive fact.
If you haven't seen the show it seems extremely objective, detailing the nearly 4 year accident investigation that pin pointed the point and source of the fire in this crach. And then suddenly they launch into this diatribe saying that basically every plane in the sky continues to contain all the failing elements of this flight's problems. It was a real departure from both their tone and message at the end. It seemed just so typical of "drama reporting".
Mike, on a personal note, thanks for being over there, for all of us!

Nope, no TV here that gets anything. I've kept up on the SR 111 accident and subsequent investigation by TSB Canada as it progressed due the unusual details of the accident. Interesting stuff.
