If this is another lithium battery fire, it looks like they are becoming a significant hazard. Lithium battery safety needs more then a ‘Safety Alert’ document.

Looks like that 737 is…Total’d!

Terrible dad jokes aside, that crew did an excellent job getting a burning jet on the ground. There are very few examples of an in-flight cargo fire resulting in a positive outcome. The UPS DC-8 in Philly in 2006 is the only other one I know of.

Fedex had one at EWR as I recall. MD11 perhaps?

I was today years old when I learned 737’s have an escape rope.

727s had escape ropes, too. I flew them. I would expect that all airliners have escape ropes.

They do (plus more characters).
