A mix, with the fire eating into the right wing.
Of course shutting down a working engine didn't help but the eventual outcome was sealed anyway.

Gear Retracted - 0ne engine out 193kt - Two engines out 262kt
Gear Extended (the condition they were in) - One engine out 205kt - Two engines out >300kt
So all things being equal two engines out would "need" 80kt to maintain VZRC (give or take). Wow...
Amazing that they managed to (barely) fly at 140 kt.
