   Looks like a turbine engine came apart during the stress of full throttle takeoff. I hate it when that happens. This is most likely an airline maintenance and repair issue.

   "A #Boeing 747-400 with 468 people aboard was forced to make an emergency landing in Indonesia on Wednesday after one of its engines caught fire and began shooting out flames during takeoff."

     @dcc Airplanes are 👉complicated👈, and turbine engines are very vulnerable. A BIRD could cause this. They have. Quite often aamof. That's why airports have big boom cannons and other bird defense devices.

     Ps. You know all those F-16s given to Ukraine? Useless on anything but an immaculately maintained flight deck or runway. The air intake is literally inches from the ground when taxi-ing and they have no screen to prevent trash pickup. There's only a handful of airfields in Ukraine they can use.
