Given estimated fuel aboard, and implied assumption that structural integrity was maintained until impact but almost certainly not beyond, what is the likelihood of a post-impact fire in that circumstance?
ironically, the more fuel in the tanks the less chance of a fire due to the limited presence of vapour.
