Nostrinian - I'm not angry, I'm having a laugh Shame if you don't see that!!

Indeed wheel fires are serious - but I'll tell you what.. I'd rather have had a wheel fire on the ground like this when I was FLYING ATR's than a cabin fire over the middle of the ocean in what I fly now. Sadly Guppy is mistaken in thinking that pax are qualified, after a short briefing to act like policemen or firemen. That my friends is patently NOT the case. In fact, there are MANY documented cases of the so-called trained cabin crew 'losing it' during an emergency...

So anyway - what is the temp of that flaming magnesium
