Listening to the ATC tape, likely the captain.
Apologies for missing this, if it is already here on this thread, but where can that ATC recording be found?
Well done to the fire crew. Not sure how one of you lost a life during this episode, with all pax and crew off anyway, save having a heart attack or stroke.
I did wonder if that explosion (apparently after pax and crew had evacuated?) might have had something to do with it? Sad that there had to be a fatality amongst the rescue crew, everyone aboard having already got out.
With regards to the surprise being expressed here that pax were leaving with hand baggage - don't be! There are other examples on the web of photos/video of pax doing this, a fairly recent one being the BA 777 engine fire at Las Vegas. The pax will just
not listen!
