looking at the underbody cockpit cameras in the post above
this FD crew would have a most clear view of the fire from the moment it started then seen the carnage that followed by the time they stopped - it was a pooling inferno under and in the RH ENG front to back and under

someone in the cockpit must have kept a very cool head to keep the pax on board and hope that the AFS who were there PDQ to put it out PDQ - which luckily for all concerned they did

AND dont forget the wind was 100% in their favour blowing the fire away from the fuselage - had the wind been in the opposite direction the cabin would have been breached in less than a minute with that intensity of flames
