Was somebody really flying the A/C?
Cockpit Crew Handling.
As we know, performing this in a simulator or in your mind while dirving the car to 7/11 WILL be completely different for a Crew Member when faced with REAL LIFE.
So this event as it unfolds is simply a shock, addrenaline rush, and requires the upmost in CRM and situational awareness.
I suspected UPS Crews are well training on Lower and Main Deck fires.
The Cockpit fire is a slightly diffferent issue that can be as with SR111 impossible to deal with or trouble shoot.
Possible that during this phase before the impact, the aircraft was simply allowed to be flown into the ground (CFIT).
I mean this was not a burnt out Landing Gear indication where both Pilots were trying to fix it, but a life and death struggle and perhaps FMA, GPWS terrain warnings were overheard, or even incapacitation played a strong contributing role here.
It this was a post Go-around, then we'll say later "Had they landed they would have had a 92% chance of evacuation".
If they were infact east of BAH or DOH and then elected to fly back to DXB, the questions will arise further towards WHY WHY WHY?
If it happened just after take off from DXB - another serario.
Maybe in this situation, this problem, for 2 Pilots - it was just too much workload?
