The crash vehicles couldn't get near the crash site, the ground was too boggy. We scrambled a Seaking to pick up the crash crew and some fire bottles.

I well remember the Timmy taxying back and behind, it in the distance, the rising pall of smoke.

OC Eng instantly grounded everything, thinking 'contaminated' fuel.
