There’s a lot of talk about people collecting hand luggage during an evacuation in relation to this accident.

Why did the thing catch fire in the first place? It was clearly a very rough landing but for it to explode into flames seems pretty extreme! Is there an issue with the manufacture of these things?

Is there some problem with the controllability of these aircraft if they get struck by lightning, do they revert to a direct law setup like Airbus?
