As sad as it is, purely from a technical side, Sky News has a whole bunch of pictures of the accident (no link today, find it yourself), as set that shows just before and then during and after. There is a huge spray of fuel that gets bigger in each picture. I was quite surprised not to to see a large fireball, knowing the combustion qualities of 100 obtain ranging to something special for these aircraft.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
