That fire just looks nasty. No idea what is in that location on the bottom picture but it sure does seem like a fuel tank location.

Oz, no need to over-react. First line of first post said all onboard were OK.
Yeah didn't see that at first, I'm garbage. Wasn't meant to be an "overreacting" observation.

Yeah Slash, you're right too!

Its good to hear everyone got out all right.  It is very sad news though.  My wife, daugther and I had the opportunity to share a once in a lifetime experience by taking a ride in that bird early in 2010.  It is a memory we all cherrish.

Is there anyone here in the FAA who can enlighten us as to the cause?

Local news said the plane was grounded on Sunday due to a fuel leak in the same engine that caught fire while in flight...that makes it even worse to think it could have been avoided. :mad:
