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

A miracle no one got hurt.

Well, sort-of.
In the video: a man non-chalantly putting on a sweatshirt as he casually walks away from a raging inferno perhaps 150 ft behind him. People on cell-phones, walking from the plane. The fire truck honking for people to move, as they can't get to optimum spray position....
Just like the video of the Emirates 777: it is astonishing to me that people don't run away from a burning airplane.

That's what I was thinking. I guess it's more important to get that cell phone out and start taking video/pics to post on the internet. I wonder who was in control of the pax once outside?

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