i read there was an engine fire. the pilot feathered the engine and i would suppose hit the extinguisher as well. but if the fire was caused by leaking fuel...and the fuel ran inside the wing the extinguisher may not have been able to reach that far. once it starts there rubber insulation on wires....hydraulic hose, etc that will feed the fire. fire in a plane is the mother of all B!T<#es....especially if you dont have a chute!
