The passengers were stopped from evacuating by cabin announcement and waited on board while the fire brigade put out the fire first. Well done to all I'd say. This could have ended differently. They had turned back and flew on for two hours with their "issue" before if I understand correctly?
Nobody hurt. Respect.

I am impressed by the professionalism of the crew : with a wing engulfed in flames, they did not panic and refrained from ordering a dangerous evacuation. Kudos !

Holy c***. With the entire wing of a fuel loaded aircraft on fire like that, it was surely a ticking time bomb. Very fortunate outcome.  |

I think the fire brigade had the fire under control as soon as the aircraft landed. They probably advised against evacuation on account of toxic fumes from firefighting products. This reminds me of the QF A380 emergency landing in Singapore, when they kept the passengers in their seats for 2 hours or so while the fire was being suppressed. |

Wow! Incredible indeed. I have to wonder though, if the heat shock will somehow affect the fatigue life of some of the wing parts.  |
