Segnalo questo Incident riportato da AVherald....
Un passeggero di un volo BA da LHR a BOS di ieri, atterrato in emergenza a Shannon per fumo a bordo, riferisce che quando l'aereo è atterrato, da fuori sembrava "charred" ovvero carbonizzato... sicuramente un'esagerazione anche perché un altro testimone a terra ha detto invece che era tutto normale (si vedano le parti sottolineate nel testo).
Boh, fatto abbastanza strano, da seguire nei suoi eventuali sviluppi.

Incident: British Airways B772 near Shannon on May 23rd 2011, smoke in cockpit and cabin

A British Airways Boeing 777-200, registration G-VIIG performing flight BA-239 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Boston,MA (USA), was enroute at FL380 about 170nm southwest of Shannon (Ireland) above the Atlantic Ocean when the crew reported smoke in the cockpit and decided to divert to Shannon. During the descent the crew reported smoke in the cabin, too, that got increasingly worse. The airplane continued for a safe landing on Shannon's runway 24 about 30 minutes later.
A passenger reported that the smoke appeared in the cabin simultaneously from both the front and rear part of the cabin. The outside of the aircraft looked "charred" after landing.
An observer on the ground said, the airplane looked entirely spotless with no traces of being charred. The nose of the aircraft looked entirely normal, too. Security around the aircraft has been very tight however with permission required to get near the aircraft.
According to VAAC there was no projection of ash particles at FL380, however, the ash cloud from Grimsvotn was projected to extend into the region of the flight and over Shannon below FL200 (from surface to FL200, with air reported clean above FL200).
