An update to the AV Herald
http://avherald.com/h?article=49a58209&opt=0
It was down to an engine fuel leak into engine oil system.

Scary indeed. While the radio exchanges between the PIC and the Fire Commander were in timed in seconds, and one can sense the urgency in the tone just reading the transcript, I can't imagine what's going through the minds of pax on the plane - and perhaps even the cabin crew - waiting for info and instructions from the flight deck. Thanks for alerting mr Botak

It is disconcerting to know that the crew had no idea of the big fire engulfing one of their engine and wing and were only relying on the fire chief's advice. It's even more shocking that they didn't use any of the options available to view the fire. The reply from the crew that they weren't in the taxi phase and thus, didn't switch on the camera is simply shocking. If not for sheer luck, this could have ended up being an episode of Air Crash Investigation.

The engine may still have been running if the evacuation checklist isn't done yet.
