Is it the lack of understanding about the mechanics and dynamics of such battery fires or that freight/airline company choose to ignore the facts?

We have seen videos of battery fires in our DG safety classes and it is patently clear that the festering heat remaining even when the fires are extingushed can keep reigniting when the correct conditions reappear. The thermal runaway can only be contained by sustained cooling.
