- Date: June 28, 2008
- Aircraft: Boeing 767-200
- Location: San Francisco, California, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Parked
- Cause: The NTSB found the cause was the design of the supplemental oxygen hoses and the lack of positive separation between electrical wiring and conductive oxygen components, which let a short circuit breach a combustible hose and start a fire. The FAA's failure to require nonconductive hoses was a contributing factor.
An ABX Air 767-200 freighter caught fire on the ground at San Francisco before engine start. The fire started in the supernumerary compartment after a short circuit breached a combustible oxygen hose. The two pilots escaped through the cockpit windows, and the aircraft was substantially damaged and later classed as a hull loss.
