O'Hare Airport Hanger Fire (well....kind of...)
Thought you guys might get a charge out of this. (sent anonymously) A maintenance worker was working on a cargo door sanding it down and used a chemical soaked rag to wipe it down. The rag caught fire and he immediately tossed the rag as far as he could from the aircraft. The automatic fire system in the hanger however saw the open flame and the rest id history......along with the interior of the 757 that was sitting in the hanger with the cockpit windows open. Better safe than sorry, right?? ;-)
