This one is an eye opener for me. It puts to rest the neverending discussion of "should/should not" evacuate immediatelly if you suffer an engine fire on ground. At least for me it does.

I also consider myself very lucky as I have had three fuel leaks on the ground (NG), but none of them caused a fire.

As for a pod strike on the NG, you really have to place the aircraft in some very unusual attitudes to make that happen.

A big to the the crew!
