At this point, everything suggests a crew that against all odds behaved exceptionally, and did their utmost until that time that they could do no more.

excellent post and I completely agree with you. I have been a proponent of the 3rd crew member, and have read the mixed replies to this idea. Everyone agrees that early detection of fire/smoke is essential for survival. Do you feel a 3rd crew member could help in early detection, suppression by doing rounds and inspection?
