As usual with the press there is no recognition, and probably no understanding, of the difference between a flame as result of a surge and "caught fire".

Fortunately, as it happened just after midnight, there were no schools occupied.
And the press interpreted "A "stall" message was displayed in the cockpit three times" to mean the second engine stalled. I'm assuming the stall warnings were due to low-airspeed and high AOA.
