Yes farrell, it will be interesting to see what the full story is.
So, no external signs of fire from the footage we have seen so far. Maybe there is some out there that can back up a fire theory. Maybe it was a fire indication.
Why would anyone land a 76 in such a small place in the first place.
He was initially over a beach. So between dropping off the pax then repositioning he had a fire indication, then he hovered for a while over a car park instead of staying out clear of built up areas. ???wtf????
A/C clips something which causes it to yaw and spin out of control with the obvious result.
Lets just wait and see what the truth is about it all.
We all have our own opinions. After all, this is a 'rumour' network', is it not?

PS, quite a few of us spend a lot of our working days in the 76, not playing flight sim!
