Three words for this crew-------Fuel leak checklist
So, they knew they had a big leak because they immediately diverted to the nearest suitable airfield, good so far
However they obviously didn't read the QRH or FCOM at all????????
Not necessarily. Nothing is "obvious" at this stage of the event except that there is a fuel leak from the right engine. While the QRH first addresses a leak from the engine/pylon and requires an engine shutdown, (Engine Master OFF), we don't know if they did the QRH or not and we don't know why the leak occured* and won't until the engine is examined.
