I saw footage of this on CNN right after it happened. It was horrific
watching over 100 people burning to death inside that plane. I said a small prayer for them.

Zap,

As a retired firefighter I only saw a glimpse of one of their ARFF veicles and it did not seem to old. On the other hand, wacthing the videos I can say their tacics and their command and control were non-existent.
