I'd imagine the fire tender's debrief would have been an interesting one!
|
I wonder which Fire-fighter will be washing the Tender and cleaning the Toilets for the next month or two ?
|
I wonder which firefighter will be sitting in the back from now on! ;)

Does this require engine changes and will the engines need a significant overhaul or will a good clean suffice?
Expensive bill for some insurance company. Cheers Mark |
Would depend on how much the engines ingested, it creates all sorts of issues within the engine.
Not the first time it has happened though. United Airlines unitentional foam salute that damaged Boeing 777 meant as water salute, says Dulles fire crew - flightglobal.com 22 December 2006 |
Interesting - when Qantas A380 VH-OQA (Nancy-Bird Walton) had that engine oil fire incident, the only way to shut down the remaining engine that was still running after landing was to pump foam through it. Water from fire trucks did nothing to that massive engine. :-)
