I thought the tail looked like an A330; article says so, to.

Also: pretty sure Hawaiian's 767s have winglets...this didn't.

I wouldn't call it a "fire;" it just looks like a steady-state compressor stall. He's obviously at low speed; I guess that's why we get out of reverse by 80 knots.

Here's a video of a Thompson 757-300 in a steady-state compressor stall after swallowing a bird on takeoff. As soon as he goes to idle, stall is gone.
