What could be worse than this outcome, if they had set it down as soon as they had a problem?
Maybe bringing the fire to the rescue scene is not great, but getting out in one piece is more practical if you try it before you crash.
Well, as I think has been made abundantly clear, the crew were unaware they were on fire! Had they been aware I think there's a fair chance they would have landed sooner.
Not sure what you mean by "how many more aircraft...." - it's not exactly a common occurrence!
