Airbus A380 Smoke In Lavatory

On 31 January 2011, an Airbus A380-800 on a scheduled passenger service from Hong Kong (ROC) to Singapore and nearing the end of the cruise at night was suddenly subject to a loud noise and signs of possible fire in one of the toilet compartments accompanied by a corresponding ECAM Smoke alert for the same compartment. A fire extinguisher was discharged into the apparent source area and the location carefully monitored but no further signs of combustion were evident and the flight to destination was completed.
