Sometimes something really mysterious happens during cruising altitude...
This happened this weed to a TAM Airbus A320 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Belem (Brazil). One (or more) of the 126 passengers seemed to be bored and decided to create a small fire on both (forward and aft) lavatories from the A320 mid flight. And no one really knows what really happened or who caused it. Fact is that while cruising at 35,000 feet, the crew received a fire indication and an emergency descend was immediately made, diverting the aircraft to Brasilia (Brazil). Mistakenly, the communication between cabin and cockpit crew was opened and, as a consequence, the passengers heard everything and a bit of panic was installed. The indication followed an actual fire, that cabin crew immediately took control and were able to fight. Traces of flammable liquid and burnt paper were found on both toilets. An investigation has now been open.
