The picture says it all.

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!

Photo made at the accurate moment, therefore of the opposite would not obtain such visual effect.

It's very rare to get a shot like this one! Great job!

I never knew MD-11s had afterburners :)

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!!!!

Continue,VASP MD-11 engine n°2 FIRE.
Yes my name is FABIO,from Brazil

Looks like the airplanes got a pony tail

WOW!!!

They have a nice nitro!

MD-11 is the best plane ever built. I love it and boeing should not end the production.

I didn't know they use rocket engines on MD-11's.

Oh my godness! All I can say,terrifieding and just amazing! Great job!

Great picture,realy, is very hard to get a shot like this one.

Wow!!! Look at the flame coming from the engine...
Really amazing... You can see the condensation on the left wing.

Maybe Mcdonnell Douglas accidentally equiped this md-11 with concordes engine in #2...

Engage afterburners!
