Well done to the BA crew and to the staff at LAS. Everyone from the pilots to the flight attendants to ATC to the fire department did their jobs perfectly and nobody was seriously injured or killed.

Man, that must be scary! You're sitting on the plane, minding your own business and waiting for it to take off, and suddenly, the damn thing bursts into flames!

If it had caught fire a minute or two later, the carnage would've been incredible as the plane would've come tumbling out of the sky.

Yeah that was a blessing that it happened on the ground.
