Comment on Heathrow shut after Boeing Dreamliner 787 fireparent

Comments

From that video, if it was the batteries, someone moved them, and then set them on fire.

The batteries are nowhere near there. They're low on the plane, one set near the wings and one forward. That's maybe the APU, though more forward than I'd expect. Looks more like the cabin, maybe even the "flight attendant rest area" which is above the cabin.

My guess: random electrical. Or someone smoking carelessly.
