How quickly the fire made the aircraft uncontrollable is mind boggling

This tragic video shows just how quickly an inflight fire can make any aircraft uncontrollable, resulting in disaster. Get it on the ground at the first sign of a fire and get out as soon as it stops moving. If a fire or any explosion begins during the takeoff roll, stay on the ground and try to bring it to a stop even it involves a groundloop or an overrun.
