Default The pilot did good!

It's annoying that all the headlines say " crashed and burned", when the pictures show that the pilot made a brilliant landing. Everyone got clear...
That's great skill under the circumstances! Sad, but could have been so much worse!

Some thing as simple as a rag used to clean a part or catch a drip while changing oil accidentally left behind could be enough to cause a fire. Once a fire was able to take hold and the fuel tank caught its time to get out of there. Its hard to imagine the flames and heat that amount of av-gass would produce.

you are SO right!!!

The A/C got down safely and all crew got out unharmed. Nothing lasts forever. I'm glad the Boeing spent it's last day doing what it was built for: flying, not rotting away in a museum!!!
