It was many things. Mentality and discipline, luck, but also that the airplane, an Airbus 350, was new and made of materials that delay the outbreak of an uncontorlled blze, they area bit more diffiuclt to start burning in full, buying time. Only the emergency reserve left in the fuel tank.

If this were an airliner from 20 or 30 years ago and on takeoff, we probably would have seen hundreds of losses, Japanese discipline given or not.
