Listening to the ATC footage, it took quite a while till they ordered the Evac, but they did! Who was smarter, These AA guys or our SQ friends and their tripple recently? I see both rather simmilar, albight this fire sure seemed to have more punch!
You can't tell the time between being stopped and when they ordered the evacuation. It's 1:50s between when they said they were stopping and when they told the tower they were evacuating.
No you can't compare the two fires. In the videos of this fire you can see intense flame reaching to 20 metres and the damage is substantial. I understand the SIA fire was extinguished in 5 minutes.
Clearly, if there was this kind of fire in the Singapore airlines fire you would expect the same kind of panic in the cabin and unless there were other safety reasons not to evacuate an evacuation more than likely would have occurred.
I still find it incomprehensible that people think the Singapore crew would let their passengers burn alive.
