Most Importantly, Everyone was Ultimately safe !

Trying to figure out, why DL was using a 767 on RDU-ATL ??

ok. that report begs for more questions than it answered. How does engine bleed air get into the cabin because of a ruptured duct? With all the fire detector loops around said ducts, EICAS would have told them what happened and they could have quickly closed the bleed valves from engines and even turn off that pack.

Can someone fill in the blanks?

Also, ATL-RDU is a huge market pair. More medallion FF in RDU than anywhere else outside ATL.

Thank Goodness they were able to land safely and no one was hurt. One can only imagine if this happened over the Atlantic in the middle of the night with the nearest landing being at least 90 minutes. Wow, more than a bit scary!!

I believe JAX has RDU beat in the number of Delta's precious metals.
Along with TPA.
