Speculation that a burning cigarette could have been dropped into a restroom trash container came from John Galipault, director of the independent Aviation Safety Institute in the Columbtts, Ohio, suburb of Worthington. But Engen said, "That appears less likely. It does not appear to be a cigarette." Although federal rules prohibit smoking in aircraft restrooms, Galipault said passengers frequently smoke there.

Engen said the investigation might take several' months and was destruction in the rear of the plane. "It's all gone, there's nothing left," he said, referring to the lavatory section. FLORENCE, Ky. (UPI) An official investigating a fire aboard an Air Canada plane "that killed 23 passengers said Saturday the pilot's log book showed electrical circuit breakers "popped" in the rear, lavatory area shortly before smoke engulfed the craft. "We're concentrating (the investigation) in the aft lavatory area," said Donald Engen, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board.

Engen said it appeared "less likely" a cigarette caused a fire to break out in the restroom but added that electrical problems could not be blamed at this time. The DC-9 made an emergency landing Thurs-day evening at the Greater Cincinnati Airport after smoke began pouring through the cabin from the rear of the plane. "The pilot was aware of a problem in the aft lavatory because in his maintenance logs he had recorded that there were some circuit breakers that had popped in the aft lavatory section," Engen' said at a news conference. "He attempted to reset "Blue Thunder soars! A big hit movie. Has something for everyone.

Engen said the circuit breakers were designed to protect electrical circuits and were connected to an electrical motor in the lavatory system. Asked if the' results indicated the fire was due to an electrical malfunction, he "Not necessarily. At this point in time it means that there was a short." Engen said pilot Donald Cameron did not note in the logs the time the' circuits popped, but ad-, ded, "You can rest assured it was almost concurrent (with the fire and smoke)." After the circuits popped, Engen said, Cameron lost "his electrical system, meaning he could not see his instruments. The air traffic controller helpetfliim" land the plane. For instance, the controller would say 'turn left' and the pilot would turn left." Engen said Cameron still had control of the plane's hydraulic system.

The NTSB investigator also read a statement from Kentucky FBI Agent James Yelvington that truck plunged into a pool of water next to Weber River in Ogden shortly after midnight when the road in front of a bridge washed out and left a gaping hole 6 feet deep. All four occupants of the vehicles were pulled to safety by Highway Patrol Trooper Nick Sivulich, who fashioned a lifeline out of his belt and a chain attached to his car bumper. "I saw the hole as I approached the bridge but it happened so fast there was nothing I could do about it," said Scott McCoard, 25, Ogden, who drove into the water along with his wife, Melody, 24. Salt Lake City officials pleaded for more volunteers to fill sandbags after the rain caused the so-called State Street river to spill over the sandbag dikes, endangering businesses along the street. The river was formed along the downtown's main street last week to relieve pressure from the flooded City Creek Canyon stream north of the city.
