Not sure what I find more incredulous. The lack of evacuation or the posts stating 'it was an excellent outcome, well done crew' or 'the fire was contained to the wing'.
FFS, pure luck prevented a tragedy.
I have no doubt an inquiry will find that an evacuation should have occurred and we will see this on CRM training for years to come.
No, the pilots can't see the wing. ATC, fire, cabin crew and pax could. I can't believe the pilots weren't advised by at least one of them.
Why didn't the cabin crew order the evacuate themselves, as a passenger I would have been gone.
Basic training, check outsidethe door before evacuating. The left side was clear, it's a fire, fire creates smoke, smoke kills, evacuate immediately.
A very dangerous precedent to praise the outcome as being 'successful' because no one was injured or killed.
