I believe that swiss air 111's fire was caused by some wires where the pilot's were unable to see them, instead the saw and smelled
smoke comming from the air conditioner, which is kind of common for an airliner but it was too strong. Then the wires ignited taking out
one system at a time. They realized it was a serious problem because the smoke got to the autopilot and caused it to shut off. Then the
cockpit just opened in flames.
This is the reason they are not using that insulation they were using in swiss air.
A terribly tragedy.
