I guess that they couldn't find a herd of Fluffy Kittens that were saved by the pilot's actions?
Remarkable both for the footage (cameraman right place/right time!) and the recognition that something was wrong. If you had a fire in the baggage area of a Squirrel, how would you know until too late? Battery overheat warning? Viewing the approach path and the smoke caught in the downwash as the Squirrel came back through translational, that would have been quite unnerving for the pilot
Well done, I hope his actions are appreciated
