    Way more than a normal engine fire. They made it to V1. Should have been straight forward.

    This must look terribly familiar to those who’ve been around aviation for a while.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_191


    At O’Hare the engine departed due to failure of the fuse pins in the pylon. It damaged the left side slats and their hydraulics and caused them to retract. I wonder if the MD11 has a mechanical slat lock to prevent asymmetry. The DC10 did not. The recorders will tell us all eventually. Tragic.

    RIP.

    This airplane was in flames before it hit the ground. Flight 191 was not.
