Here's an example of how they inadvertently made the situation worse:
"On the one hand there were damage control teams spraying fire fighting foam on the deck to contain the flames, which was the correct procedure, while on the other hand, crewmen on the other side of the deck sprayed seawater, washing away the foam and worsening the situation by washing burning fuel through the hole in the flight deck into the decks below." link
That’s right, thank you. Been a few years since I watched the documentary on it.
