A380-800 Driver, this one had been done to death ad nausem, no fire doesn't mean no fuel, the fact the wings stayed intact means there was no fire.

Samoloyt, From what I understand the B757 is classed as a Heavy Aircraft regarding it's wake turbulence, so I imagine a B737-800 would need a 3min seperation, although don't quote me on that one! The wind was 30 degrees off the centreline of 18R both at altitude and on the ground, and therefore should 'blow' the wake to their left as they made their approach, although such a light wind being only 30deg off may not move the wake sufficiently away from their intended flightpath.
