Firstly, best wishes to the pilot and those others who received injuries of any kind, including having the life frightened out of them. He was very lucky to get out of it in one piece!
Disregarding all the speculation and comment, but .......
.........has anybody spoken to the man and actually heard him say there was a fire or fire indication, or even a problem of any kind in those moments before going down?
And no, I don't mean " heard it from a mate of his neighbour" stuff.
