Scotneil just to back you up. As I said this incident has more to it than reported. Also we are all taught that with a toilet bin fire that is not extinguished immediately you have 14 mins to get the aircraft on the ground before catastrophe, backed up by statistics. Even if you get it on the ground in time the aircraft usually burns out & is a complete right off.
The crew in this incident did a "cracking" job & should be commended. Also at the time the diversion airfields were "in normal circumstances" not recommended due to security concerns both for the aircraft and passenger+crew.
