Well… if smoking wasn’t prohibited the root cause was the leaky oxygen mask…

> Incredibly, at the time of the incident, EgyptAir pilots were allowed to smoke in the cockpit – a rule that has since changed.

From the article. The valve was set to the wrong position. Headline is bad.

something being prohibited or not doesn't really change the root cause :P. just click bait i guess. lots of things can cause sparks.

Name five that are permitted in a cockpit?
