Read the full NTSB narrative
AN INFLT FIRE STARTED IN A CARGO 'IGLOO' DURING HI-ALT CRUISE DUE TO SPILLAGE OF NITRIC ACID IN A CONTACT WITH A WOODEN PACKING CRATE. THE FIRE WENT OUT WHEN THE ACFT WAS DE-PRESSURIZED BUT SMOKE AND ACID FUMES WERE HAZARD TO THE COCKPIT CREW. AN EMER LNDG WAS EFFECTED AT CINCINNATI AFTER A MISSED APPROACH AT CHARLESTON WV. THE CREW COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SMOKE GOGGLES AND EMERGENCY OXYGEN MASKS AS A DETRIMENT TO THE OPERATIONS & COMMUNICATIONS. THESE ARE BEING IMPROVED TO A MORE PRATICAL & EFFICIENT MODEL.
