It had winglets...that means it's probably newer, not older. Kind of scary...I'm anxious to hear what actually happened.

Hi!

I read that PAX said that after they were on the ground an engine caught fire, and then the other engine also caught fire.

Wow!

I've heard that it may have been a large fuel leak onto hot brakes.
