On shudders to think of the internal fire/heat/smoke damage from this incident. If it had been in flight then the a/c would have depressurised for sure. I recall the NTSB lead spokesman (Deborah ??) saying a battery should never ever catch fire, so what do we have here.? Something probably much worse. This fire was extinguished by an expert fire team with all the equipment, something certainly not available for an a/c in flight.
