Air Canada Flight 797 2
Air Canada Flight 797 2 : (1) Details: At no time did any of the cabin crew mention to either Cameron or Ouimet that they had not yet seen flames, and the one person who had managed to get a good look at the sceneBenettihad not reported seeing anything resembling the traditional causes of airline fires in pre-smoking-ban days: Flames from a trash bin fire or the paper towel dispenser, both of which were commonly set ablaze by passengers who would smoke in the lavatories on long flights. However, around 19: 04, Benetti reported that he thought the fire was probably out because of how much he had doused the lavatory and that "it's gonna be easing up soon". This came less than a minute after Ouimet had attempted to investigate the fire but had been driven back by the thick smoke, causing him to strongly recommend landing the plane. Just three minutes later, however, at 19: 07, passengers began smelling smoke in the cabin again, and just two minutes after that19: 09the "Master Breaker" alarm went off in the cockpit, and electrical systems throughout the plane began to fail, including power for the elevator trim system. This made controlling the plane's descent extremely difficult and required a great amount of physical exertion from the pilot and first officer. In addition, the PA system failed, leaving the flight attendants unable to communicate efficiently with the passengers; nevertheless, attendants were able to instruct passengers sitting in the exit rows on how to open the doors, a practice that was not standard on commercial airline flights at the time. At 19: 20, Cameron and Ouimet made an extremely difficult emergency landing at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, located in Boone County, Kentucky across the Ohio River fromCincinnati, Ohio
