Originally posted by NickFitz View PostIf the video is confirmed genuine and the plane did catch fire in flight, then it’s possible it was a cargo fire rather than an aircraft fault, along the lines of ValuJet Flight 592 - Wikipedia.
It’s notoriously difficult to interpret video of an aircraft in flight, especially at night, so I’d be cautious about describing video as showing “an engine exploding” rather than “a fire suddenly becoming visible somewhere around what appears to be the centre of the plane”.Hard Brexit now!

"The take-off weight will have been limited to ensure it is safe to continue take-off with one engine inoperative after having accelerated to V1 with all engines operating. "

Originally posted by sasguru View PostApparently not according to this (see last para):
"The take-off weight will have been limited to ensure it is safe to continue take-off with one engine inoperative after having accelerated to V1 with all engines operating. "
Engine failure on take-off - Wikipedia
As highlighted, that is based on all engines operating normally at V1. If, at V1, one of the engines is not operating normally and the pilot is aware, then they can still stop the plane on the ground. After they rotate, then the only way to stop on the ground is via landing.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
