I'm hearing that Boeing has already put out a bulletin saying it was a fuel leak that caused the fire. Fuel leaks on hot engine parts and ignites. Fire in engine nacelle causes more fuel to leak which hits hot brakes and ignites. Nice explosion and scratch one aircraft.

Look at it this way, it's good for the economy! Boeing gets to sell them another bird.

I'm surprised there aren't more videos seeing that a handycam is standard issue to newborns over there.

The FAA just came out with an emergency AD for newer 737s. It seems a bolt on a slat piercing a fuel tank was the cause of this fire.
