Those who wish to form their own conclusions and/or learn from the HS 748 accident should readthe full report.
The aircraft suffered an uncontained engine failure and subsequent fire; it was at night and there was a bright glow visible in the cabin.
The AAIB report handles the HF aspects very sensibly, with consideration of the likely surprise (shock) of the situation (my supposition), which probably contributed to the decision to land, as it may have done in the failure to follow all of the shutdown procedures – failure to close the LP fuel cock.

Errors stem from the influence of factors in the situation. At times, these factors exceed the human capabilities of analysis and rational decision making, which with the pressure of time and personal threat can result in non standard actions.
These issues are often found in accidents when attempting to stop after V1.
