Can we be sure the crew knew the no 1 engine was on fire? The pax down the back on the port side,along with those filming would have know of course. The flames were not "great in lenght" compared with say, avgas pouring from the engine and igniting, with the results of flame as long as the length of the a/c.
My gut tells me it was an oil feed fire.
They obviously knew they were done on power.
Down on power checklist? Best option, attempt to land at nearest suitable.
