I really doubt it. That guy is a pilot, so obviously he knows more than I do, but a fire on a jet plane wouldn't last 5 hours, because the chances are it would interfere with the hydraulics somewhere along the line, and make the plane completely unstable. If I've learned anything from ACI, it's that once the hydraulics go, then you can pretty much forget it.
