Completely different circumstances, it wasn't a fire incident and plenty of en route alternates.
Mind you not helped by the crew fuel system finger trouble at end of flight. Plenty of fuel on board but in the wrong tanks. Unnecessary diversion to Manchester.
A 3 engine 747 has more options than a for example, a 767 with all engines running!!
