13-12. Not sure where you were standing mate, but we had just pushed back off stand. I never saw the actual crash as I was doing the after-starts, but saw the aircraft explode. I can assure my fellow aviators that the BHX firecrews were excellent. The first tender was on site within seconds, with the second one there 10 seconds or so later.

I think they did an excellent job and can levvy no criticism at them at all. It is the first a/c accident I have ever seen first hand and it was upsetting for everyone.

My condolences go to the families of all those affected.
