Smoke and Fire in the cockpit and a failed return to the airport....very sad, RIP
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
I heard they simply could not see their instruments through all the smoke. Very tragic. :(

She was flying for such a short time- the fire must have gotten huge in short order. Awful, please post what was the cause when found.
"my finger on the shutter button, while my eye is over my shoulder"
Sounds like they were about 20 minutes out when the fire broke out and they turned around...made an approach too high and too fast and missed the airport, then crashed about 12 miles past it.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
