Information and lack of information
I don't know which is worse on these fora, posters with no information about the on-scene events and communications, condemning the actions and decisions of a real- life crew in a real-life occurrence, or posters who criticize and condemn actions for which there is known info, simply out of ignorance.
Re the flight deck decisions and actions: At this stage, we (the public) know nothing, nada, zip, sweet FA, about what took place. So, rational comment and discussion is appropriate; condemnation is not. A previous poster lamented the lack of qualified pilots commenting on this thread (or other threads for that matter). Why do you think that is?
Re ARFF: Again, there have been few if any comments by qualified ARFF experts on this thread. Why? The prime reason is simple: In the video shot from outside, from the starboard side, a qualified ARFF person sees the response vehicles following SOP exactly (in at least five or six ways). Most importantly, what we see is foam being applied effectively and accurately 55 seconds after wheels stop. If you think there was ANY delay due to routings, positioning, procedures, etc I respectfully suggest you know nothing about ARFF.
