yeah, that's the typical hangar bitching, as soon as something goes wrong people start talking $hit about others.. seen it happen before..
Let's look at FACTS: here is a dramatic photo sequence of the fire:

as you can see they managed to land the plane properly, and the fire is on the engine 2 area. If you look closer the prop of engine 2 is actually feathered, which means that it's likely the engine and/or supercharger are at the base of the fire.
Once the fire was out of control, all they could do was look at the plane torching away
