Holy crap!!
767; aborted takeoff.
Right wing melted and bent down to runway!!. Serious fuselage scorching at door 4R. See link below.
Impressive video.

Just like the video of the Emirates 777: it is astonishing to me that people don't run away from a burning airplane.

Uncontained engine failures seem to be all the rage these days...wonder if some revised certification standards will be coming soon?
