On Dec. 10, while we were in London, there was this fuel explosion which actually affected our return home a whole week later! Made some some intersting equipment stops, Like QF flights having to stop at airports near LHR for refuel.
anyway, we departed for Prague about an hour after the explosion and I caught this shot:

Awesome shot.
Three questions:
1.) Why did it take you so long to share?
2.) Where was this flight going? What airline? Etc.
3.) Did you try selling it to Reuters or AP or anyone? It was a huge story at the time and I don't recall seeing any shots from that angle. Surely you could have gotten a few bucks for it.
:)
One more question:
4.) What the hell is feul?
