Lavatory Fire

An aircraft operated for Northwest Airlines made an emergency landing this morning in Fargo, North Dakota. The Compass flight #2040 was on its way from Regina, Saskatchewan to Minneapolis when it was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger disposed of his doobee in the trash can a fire started inside a lavatory.

The 69 passengers, two pilots, and two flight attendants were doing fine. The passengers were put up in a hotel, and their flight was re-booked.

Sounds like someone forgot to watch/listen to the all-important safety briefing regarding no smoking in the cabin. At least they didn't tamper with the lavatory smoke detector -- a federal offense.

If I can find any actual pictures of the damage, I will put them up here.
