Ruling on ABX SFO Ground Fire
The National Transportation Safety Board will hold a public meeting Tuesday, June 30, at 9:30 a.m., in its Board Room and Conference Center, 429 L'Enfant Plaza, S.W., Washington, D.C. to determine the probable cause of a 2008 cargo aircraft fire at San Francisco International. On January 28, 2008, at about 10:15 pm, an ABX Air Boeing 767-200, N799AX, operating as Flight 1611,experienced a ground fire before engine startup. The captain and the first officer evacuated the airplane through the cockpit windows and were not injured, but the airplane was substantially damaged. A summary of the Board's final report, which will include findings, probable cause and safety recommendations, will appear on the website shortly after the conclusion of the meeting. The entire report will appear on the website several weeks later.
