Re: BA 747 Engine Fire

First engine jettison handles, now a fuel 'petcock' ?
Was I absent from groundschool the day these items were covered??

At least one can see the results of leaving the fuel petcock on after the air pressure pretty much quits. Pretty typical of an engine cock-up during a high crew workload like a takeoff.
