Great job done by all involved !!

A/C evacuated safely in 45secs.

Believe the crew got no fire warning, they had info from the tower that there was smoke seen from #2 engine and this was confirmed by the fire crews. It is beieved that a bearing gave way leading to a core fire. The crew had reported a noticable vibration coming from the engine.

Again it was a job well done..! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
