At about a third of the way through, I thought for a moment that fuel was escaping and had been ignited and was about to fireball.

Nonetheless, I would suggest the RFFS has some deep soul searching to do regarding their (lack of) intervention in this instance.
It is blatantly obvious the aircrew are totally incapacitated and could do nothing.
A fire lance with a 50yd throw @ 400lts a minute would stop that spin immediately or at the very least put the engine(s) out.

Wouldn't want to be the fire chief that shift.
