Knew it pretty much had to be this or the controller forgetting they had cleared a jet onto the runway (Los Angeles runway disaster). Less likely the incoming jet landing on the wrong one.

Controller error would maybe be easier to determine a full root cause, very sad for everyone on the coast guard aircraft though.

It's actually pretty impressive that there weren't more lives lost. The whole situation sucks and should've been avoided, but once it happened, I'm surprised it was "just" five

It's a testament to safety standards in new planes. The A350 has tons of fire safety implemented and I believe is actually one of the first ones to have this amount of safeguards against fires spreading quickly.

Yeah only the Coasties lost anyone, surprised all passengers made it off of the air bus with the way that fireball went up.
