Well, that hanger was old, anyhow, and what better way to get rid of that expensive to properly dispose cancer causing foam than a malfunction?
Apparently, this was a new hangar, as opposed to the old Western Airlines ones.

An ubsubstantiated source (sorry) states that an aircraft was pulled into the hangar with the APU running. Don't know if that's SOP or not.
I mean, it makes sense. But if Delta said there was a malfunction, then I dunno, because it the heat triggered it, the system did its job. Oh well, guess we will never know.
That would do it... LOL... Seen that before!
