SAS: I have looked again and again at the better video on page one and cannot see any intervention whatsoever from the fire crew. No extinguishant was used after the fuel spewed out towards the end and it then vapourised.
The news report probably refers to the fire tender spraying the cab after it all calmed down and they spotted fuel everywhere.
Why this never fireballed is anyone's guess but I still maintain that someone should have done something before it all ended so tragically (even if it was the pilots fault).
Handy - yes I recall doing landings on dollies in the early days - hairy!
