Are the Dutch allergic to full screen websites?Fuel vapour can be a problem but jet fuel is actually not very flamable. When you look at the number of aircraft which have crashed short of runways or overshot runways, I woul;d guess that in most of these accidents, where serious structural damage was incurred, a fire ensued.
I am pretty sure the initial investigation will want to know why a fire DIDN'T occur in this accident.

Modern aircraft have got pretty good fuel tanks the same type used in race cars so fire is increasingly rare in accidents.I am pretty sure the initial investigation will want to know why a fire DIDN'T occur in this accident.
