Aloha Airlines, Inc., Vickers Viscount 745D, N7415 was operating as Flight 845 between Hilo and Honolulu, Hawaii. After landing at Honolulu and during taxi to the terminal, smoke was detected coming from below the passenger cabin floor. The aircraft was stopped on the taxiway, the engines were shut down and all passengers and crewmembers evacuated without incident. The fire was extinguished by airport emergency equipment. The Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was an undetected electrical short within the left nickel-cadmium aircraft battery, which resulted in the absorption of an increasing amount of heat energy over an unknown period of time, and progressed to a state of thermal runaway.
