      it was probably an electrical fire. if you kill the power supply to an electrical fire, the fire will die out quickly. which i assume is what the QRH would tell them to do, if they didn't do so themselves.

    I liked the way the tower advised they would provide a wind check 2 miles out, knowing they would probably need it.

      I've heard it in quite a few videos. (I've also listened to a lot of JFK ground 😅) It's just when ATC doesn't require any response and you don't want to block the frequency, but feel like acknowledging- stuff like wind checks, basic information about waiting times or sequence, etc.

    • @Hopeless_and_Forlorn

      Modern aviation weather radar has a peak power pulse of around a hundred watts and is harmless. Many have wind shear detection functions that will turn the radar on automatically for takeoff and approach. Early airborne radar sets, however, had 65 or even 70 kilowatt peak power. You definitely did not want to have them on with people or equipment nearby.

    Have been a passenger on a plane when they declared "fire in the cockpit" and smoke filled the passenger cabin almost immediately. Lights went off and we had the floor lights. Landed and came down the shoots. What I found scary was how fast the cabin filled with smoke - seconds. That is why you always, even before you belt yourself in, count the rows in front of you and count the rows behind you - to the nearest exit. Even though the floor lights will show you, the floor could become obstructed and if you can count the seats to the exit that would be great.

      I'd guess that they either stopped departures or put them on a different frequency (the second ATC might very well have been director/final or approach before the situation)

In my opinion, they took to long and were to comfortable preparing the aircraft for land. If the fire spread, and you have smoke on the cockpit you have a few minutes before you lose control. Remember a MD11 over the east coast. They have a smoke in the entertainment system. they were very professional, calm and patient, setting up everything for landing. a few minutes from the airport, the smoke was in the cockpit, they couldnt see the instruments. everybody died.
