Can someone please tell me why in the hell was Asiana Hot refueling this plane in the first place???
Curious as to why you thot they were doing a "hot refueling"? Engine two isn't running, and usually don't have engines spooled up parked at gate. I have a feeling engine 1 is rotating due to the whatever happened to it.
Also why didnt they pull the fire handle. Im sure that would have put some if not all of the fire out?
Probably no one inside the aircraft during the refueling. Thot APU had to at least be running for fire suppression system to work, not ground power?
Hull insurance proceeds could come in handy for a cash-strapped airline.
Did the engine fail or was the plane close to retirement. I'm confused.
