Oh dear! That nasty little brake fire turned out to be an inconvenience to a number
of people. All I can say is; shit happens - The potential that many more COULD have
been inconvenienced when rescue crew were sifting through the ashes of what was once
an airliner doesn't seem to have been mentioned at all.
Interesting "slant" in the style that our good prostitute journo's wrote!
Sounds as though the crew did it "text book" style - I assume that the aircraft
flight manual goes something like this:
in the event of a fire (after landing) of uncertain origin, stop the aircraft and -
"EVACUATE" the aircraft (on the side opposite to the fire) immediately and ensure
that the vicinity is clear of all pax's and crew.
If that is indeed so AND the skipper DID NOT carry out an evacuation - the very same
"inconvenienced" pax's (or relatives as the case COULD HAVE been - influenced, of
course, by the same two-faced journo's) would be crying "hang the bastard" (the
skipper that is) for breach of ANO's (or whatever today's name for it is now).
Professionalism in the aviation industry is very high - its a pity journo's couldn't
achieve at least 10% of that standard.
SHEESH - BLOODY PEOPLE! It'd be pleasing to hear some positive comments for once :(
