Investigators immediately suspect an arcing event. >> the electricity that is flowing through a wire as, over time, insulation can chaff, crack. and these cracks allow the electricity to not flow down the wire path as it's supposed to, but to jump to a part of the frame of the airplane or to another wire that might be exposed. >> the lavatory motor is small but carries a lot of power. >> weight on an airplane is something you try to keep to an absolute minimum. one of the ways that we do that in aircraft is to utilize very small, but very powerful electric motors so that a very small motor can...

Time, insulation can chaff, crack. and these cracks allow the electricity to not flow down the wire path as it's supposed to, but to jump to a part of the frame of the airplane or to another wire that might be exposed. >> the lavatory motor is small but carries a lot of power. >> weight on an airplane is something you try to keep to an absolute minimum. one of the ways that we do that in aircraft is to utilize very small, but very powerful electric motors so that a very small motor can get three boosts of electricity, as it winds around. >> the motor inside the lavatory is much stronger than a...

Electricity jumping from one of these wires would release an enormous amount of energy and could ignite a fire. investigat investigators do, in fact, find evidence of arcing on the left and right lavatory feeder wires, that come out through holes in the floorboards. the arc starts a fire that ignites the lavatory walls, consuming vital electric systems, making it almost impossle for captain cameron to control the aircraft. >> became suddenly very hard to fly. it was nose heavy because the stabilizer trim had failed. >> his arms would have been very, very,ç very tired by the time he got on th...

The lavatory. the scepter of the fire damage. investigators immediately suspect an arching event. >> the electricity that is flowing through a wire is over time insulation can chafe, can crack, and these cracks allow the electricity to not flow down too wire path as it's supposed to. but to jump to a part of the flame on the airplane. >> weight on an airplane is something you try to keep to an absolute minimum. one way to do that is to utilize small but powerful electric motors. so a very smeart motor can get three boosts of electricity as it winds down. >> the motor inside the lavatory is sur...
