Not necessarily on fire when landing... but perhaps went off the runway whilst landing with minimal/back up systems.

Seems the mains did not lower or collapsed in the landing. Engines took the weight.

so much for the "myth-busters" that reckoned the tail was the safest place to sit as a pax. sympathy to those involved.

Where were the emergency services? That thing was sitting there burning for a couple of minutes with not a fire truck in sight.
