Chicken or the egg is my question, who would know what came first, the wiring fire or the lipos?

UPS Airlines Flight 6
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPS_Airlines_Flight_6
On September 24, 2013, the GCAA released its comprehensive, 322-page report on the crash, which found “with reasonable certainty” that the fire which caused the crash
originated in a cargo container which held thousands of lithium batteries
My earlier statment
One was a fire that happened on a plane in Dubai and was industrial type of batteries. The second on was a UPS plane
I did google it. If you actually read my comment I mentioned that plane crash. Plus the plane crash in dubai that was related to industrial lipo's. Those are the only two crashes that related to lipo's being the main culprit. Just interested to see how many crashes can be linked to lipo fires. I see allot of people throw around that lipo's have caused plane crashes, and mailing lipo's is dangerous.
Not to down play the severity of a plane crash, but 2 out of thousands or hundreds of thousands of flights carrying lipo as cargo leads me to believe that lipo's being shipped by mail is safe.
