yeah but getting a burning plane on the ground from 36000 in less than 8 mins is pretty good...no matter what you think of the guy.

That's nothing, the Peenuckle guys got it from 410 to a house in quite a bit less time than that, and they weren't even on fire till they hit the house!

The courageous action by Flight Attendant Gloria Heurtematte to attempt to extinguish the fire

Most FA's, especially the elderly, wear enough perfume to suck the oxygen away from a fire.

Wasn't this fire started by the other FA? I thought that I remember something about him being ticked that he couldn't work with his "buddy," so he set the lav on fire.

Last I heard the FA had fled back to Mexico to avoid charges related to the fire.

I remember this. Now it makes sense why they left the "other" FA out of the article.
