Let's put this in perspective..... hmm?

Fire outside: "Please remain seated for your own safety."

Evacuation after putting the fire out. Notice where foam is and is not.

I still can't comprehend the lack of evacuation call.

Information about fire would have been available through fire trucks, cabin crew, ATC, perhaps even tug drivers scared ****less. With all the freely available learning tools known as Previous Accidents Who Turned Out Deadly For No Good Reason I was under the impression that any fire would result in immediate EVACUATION because the seconds are of utmost importance.

Something about logic: To claim that "this was the right decision because noone died" is inconsistent logic. Following that logic you could also claim that landing at Sioux City was a wrong decision because people died. This is an easy logical trap to get caught in when you argue if decisions are good or bad depending on the number of survivors.

(Cases in point: BAD decision, China 611 fiddling with engines all survived, GOOD decision, ValueJet fire in cargo hold all lives lost)
