That GAMCO Hangar Fire

At this link ASW mentioned that three aircraft had been damaged in a hangar fire at GAMCO's facility in Abu Dhabi, UAE on the night of 18/19 April, 2007. It was mentioned that a Qatar Airways jet (A300-600 regn: A7-ABV) was very badly damaged and that jets belonging to Air Mauritius (A319 regn: 3B-NBH) and Kingfisher (A320 regn: VT-KFD) had also received damage. Imagery of that hangar fire is now available at this link. The fire was initially claimed to have been "brief and contained". The fire actually took between one and two hours to extinguish. One person was injured jumping down from the Airbus A300. See what you think.
