I reckon, the reason the runway was not foamed, may have been due to the wheel being magnesium, and if you've ever lit magnesium and tried to put it out with water you'll know what happens

I hadn't thought about that, lol. All I know is that the pilot didn't want foam used. He is just a confident, positive thinking guy who came through under a lot of pressure. Too bad that was his first time in Los Angeles though!
