They still had 3 more engines, what's the problem?

The problem with one engine burning is the fire is likely to burn a hole in the wing.
The big problem with plane incidents is that international airlines don't get much adverse press but when Qantas has a little incident the local press jump on them.

That's why they have fire extinguishers built into the system.

nah......I reckon it wasn't an engine fire. Cathay were doing a barbee for all the Aussies on board and the steaks and snags caught on fire LOL
There are reports that an engine on a plane flying from Perth to Hong Kong caught fire shortly after take-off overnight.
A man has contacted the ABC saying his brother was on board Cathay Pacific flight CX170 when there was a loud bang and sparks and flames.
The cabin was then reported to have gone dark.
He said about 15 minutes later the captain reported a problem with one of the engines.
The plane was diverted to Denpasar in Indonesia and the passengers were booked into a hotel.
