For God's Sake. Didn't either of the crew go back and investigate?
Are you saying that one of the flight deck should have gone and investigated the situation? and what if it was a real fire?
as in this case, I too would be far more interested in getting the thing on the ground - questions can be freely asked later. The stats say that any fire however small will lead to "complete loss of control" in around 12-14mins. serious control loss can be expected well before this time. A long retired training captain once said to me "its far better to have egg all over your face, than it is to have to attend all those funerals"
well done guys,
