WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED

The aircraft braked in a normal manner, well as normal as it ever is at BLK, (autobrake 3) Tower advised the crew that lots of white smoke was coming from the area of the undercarriage, they crashed the Fire Crew, FIRE CHIEF ADVISED THAT THE CAPTAIN EVACUATE THE AIRCRAFT. It's a brave Captain that goes against the advice of the Fire Chief, ( At the subsequent board of enquiry, blah blah blah ) The smoke was caused by a loose union in a hydraulic pipe, non- flammable fluid dripped onto the hot brakes following the landing run those are the facts so can we please stop all this rubbish speculation. The Crew and especially the Captain acted in a thoroughly professional manner, and .....NOONE WAS HURT !!!!
