Of course a loose wire could be nothing more than a loose wire. Stuff happens.

exactly true, but that would imply that electrical connections capable of firing a spark/fire are located in the same box as network connections controlling aircraft functions (these cables would only carry data and not be capable of sparks/fire). IF that’s the case, something needs to be re-engineered in a hurry. However, if they’re in a separate box, the network box would have to be in extremely close proximity. I’m assuming that each separate box would be fireproofed which would allow for error messages indicating a fire which the crew could address.

Again, I’m no expert by any stretch and know nothing of the engineering of these things..I’m just guessing..

Remember the plane that went down almost immediately after taking off, landing on houses in a NYC suburb where lots of policemen and firemen lived. The conclusion was that something (wire?, bolt?) wasn't quite right. My question is who didn't fix the wire, etc., correctly. That crash that killed lots of people was so close to nine-eleven and too coincidental where it came down.
