Sometimes you are screwed if you do, screwed if you don't.
And we all watched the China Airlines 73-800 explode on the ramp from a fuel leak/engine fire, Hoss.
It wasn't perfect but there are no life threating injuries. The FLL responders were especially impressive.
"Screwed if you do, screwed if you don't" is no decision at all.
