In most airline bathrooms I've been in, there is a 120VAC outlet for electric razors.

But all you would need is, perhaps, 3 bottles of nailpolish remover (purchased after security), and a pack of matches, to light a plane on fire from the inside.

The inside has a lot of carpeting and plastic, which would burn like the dickens.

Black smoke choking people to death in a couple minutes. And God help you if you drop down the oxygen masks.

Time to require aircraft to have materials that are fire resistant. This is something that should have been done years ago ! It is time to listen to the engineers to design the planes for a change instead of the marketing execs who insist on doing things cheaply and vetoing safety items as suggested.

My husband used to teach 9th grade chemistry. He had one experiment, which he performed for his class out on the playground, in which he created a raging fire by mixing two common ingredients that can be purchased at any hardware store and drugstore. The fire could not be put out with water, in fact pouring water on it would make it burn hotter.

He stopped doing the experiment about 15 years ago, saying he didn't want to give kids any ideas about trying this at home.

I am not going to say what the two common ingredients are.
