Personally, I prefer the mistake the SCCM made in this instance to the one made at Manchester.
That comment is as ignorant as it is ill-informed. There is no comparison. The cabin crew did nothing wrong in that incident. The (outside) fire overwhelmed the aircraft in seconds exacerbated by the wind.

As BOAC states abandoned take-off procedures changed to include (flight crew) taking into account the prevailing wind in similar circumstances to prevent repetition of such a disaster.
