Takeoff was at 2203 hours GMT, so the lav warning (2245 hours) was only 42 minutes in. The messages that preceded the crash were transmitted about four hours after takeoff, with the last one going out at 0210.

I don’t know what that lav message is, but it could mean any minor thing, from a stopped toilet or malfunctioning fixture to some need for a routine service.

I read on another aviation site that the lav warnings happen on many flights, so it’s probably nothing.

Maybe the toilet was stopped up. If only they had Joe the plumber on board.
