Fire on CX250

CX 250 LHR-HKG was forced to make an emergency landing in Siberia over a possible 'aft cargo hold fire'

Please, please, please tell me Apollo Commander Greene wasn't PIC on this flight. I can't bear to read another 10000 word rant. Here's what we all expect.

Dear Gus, cargo fire indication en-route, diverted to UNNT, no fire discovered after landing, nil further. Thanks.

Not being magically controlled by strings from above like TB4, and never having been to UNNT myself, I'd be interested in any brief musings/lessons learnt from the crew. Guess that's not mean spirited enough round here though.

Actually that is something constructive that I would like to see. When the facts came in on any event of consequence send out an immediate email of a summary of the facts. Wouldn't need any editorializing or analysis or atta boys. Just what happened in a timely matter--and this should beat the press. Unchecked imagination can head in wrong directions quite fast.

What type of a/c was it? Coconut news(best reporting in HKG) had a pic of a 747. I didn't think the 747 was doing LHR - HKG these days.

p.s. O'Doyle Rules!!!

If only they had been 4 crew they could have continued after a quick engineering check. Ah shame it was only 3...........

Perhaps I missed the sarcasm, but the flight in question had four pilots. CX250 is not one of the flights that is operated with three pilots.

2 pilots and a dog who barks when someone falls asleep.
Unlikely...

The SPCA wouldn't let the dog work as long as the pilots. That would be cruelty to animals.
