A picture from early in the sequence (linked from The Guardian). No slides deployed, no emergency vehicles yet, so probably just some few seconds after coming to a halt.



1) The left engine is clearly visible.

2) Fire is most pronounced in the wing root area.

3) Wind is blowing into the cabin.

4) Smoke is hugging the airplane all around, at the wing root level.

I sure would prefer to be in a 777 if I ever was in an incident. That plane is a mean bugger in the best sense!
