Sillert, V.I. in post #420

And equally with flight 712 you could argue that if they had flown the SID & concentrated on following the briefing, with better CRM they'd have extinguished the engine fire & returned for a more controlled landing, saving 5 lives & the aircraft.
Having researched this accident extensively, I rather suspect that had they done that, there would have been a similar result to the onboard fire on an Air Union Blériot 155 in October 1926.

Not familiar with that one?
