Air Canada Flight 797 crash site (Birds Eye)
Air Canada Flight 797 was a flight from Dallas to Montréal, with an intermediate stop at Toronto. On 6/2/1983, the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32 operating the service developed an in-flight fire behind the lavatory that spread between the outer skin and the inner decor panels, filling the plane with toxic smoke. 90 seconds after the plane landed and the doors were opened after an emergency landing in Cincinnati, the heat of the fire and fresh oxygen from the open exit doors created flashover conditions, and the plane's interior became engulfed in flames, killing 23 who had yet to evacuate.
