Remark Photographer
PP-SPL (cn 48745/596) I have looked on the Terminal B at Zürich how this plane rotate from Rwy 16! During the take-off, I heard 3 or 4 very loud bangs and then I saw the fire which came out of Engine 2. I took my camera and made a shot. What luck to see the flame because she was only visible for a few seconds! Please check out the original picture by clicking here.

A visitor from Brazil posted Sun February 12, 2006:
At this time I was a flight attendant in VASP.Four days after this photo,this MD-11 gone to Brussels.I was there,as a crew member, to do the return flight to Brazil,but when the aircraft arrived,the engine n°2,was like a "flower".Yes the anti-icing exploded!So, I had to stay there "9 days",waiting the fix service.All the parts came from LAX.WOW!!!!

A visitor from United States posted Thu December 15, 2005:
I never knew MD-11s had afterburners :)

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 15, 2005:
It's very rare to get a shot like this one! Great job!

A visitor from Brazil posted Sun November 6, 2005:
Photo made at the accurate moment, therefore of the opposite would not obtain such visual effect.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue November 1, 2005:
I think the gasturbine had an choked or stalled compressor, which results in compressor surge. Maybe the bleedvalves or the variable stator vanes were reacting too slowly. Great shot!

The picture says it all.
