I agree with others about the quality and detail of this report, which makes it even more astonishing that virtually nothing is said about an absence of cockpit door or a screen, other than that they are generally absent on a freighter.

I'm amazed that a report which suggests video recording of the flight deck and even a 'pre-recorded audio checklist', would not at least make a suggestion that some form of barrier be considered to prevent smoke ingress into the flight deck.

Smoke killed the Captain and smoke stopped the FO from having a fighting chance to put it down on some tarmac.

A sad, sad story and I agree with others about some legal redress from the rogue battery shippers.
