How many think this fire was a Galley fire. Something tells me from looking at the photos that the cargo hold is untouched. Also the trolly doors were barely touched. I have a feeling this was a oven or coffee pot catching fire and the flight attendants didnt catch it fast enough to put it out with a fire extinguisher. Thats just my guess looking at the photos.
