L-awtur jiddeskrivi kif l-inċident seħħ ftit wara t-tluq mill-ajruport ta’ Ħal Luqa u kif il-ħaddiema tas-salvataġġ sabu ruħhom f’sitwazzjoni diffiċli minħabba n-nirien kbar. Issemma wkoll il-kondoljanzi mill-ogħla awtoritajiet Maltin u Brittaniċi, inkluż ir-Reġina Eliżabetta II. L-investigazzjoni sabet li l-inċident kien fost l-agħar fl-istorja tal-avjazzjoni Ingliża f’dak iż-żmien. L-awtur jisħaq li dan l-inċident m’għandux jintesa u jissuġġerixxi li ssir lapida kommemorattiva.
