MD-11 - Not good.

Really ungood - Takeoff incident.  Engine was on fire.  A friend at the airport says approximately 10 city blocks near the airport are on fire near the airport.

Holy shit, prayers for all affected. So weird to see it post-rotate and not climb at all.

RIP to the crew and those on the ground.

Hope I’m wrong but that looks bad

Bummer.

You can see what looks like compressor stalls on the number 2 engine right at the beginning of the video. Number 1 exploded and FOD'd out the tail engine, which explains the lack of climb. 180k lbs of fuel. There was nothing the crew could do. So fucking sad.
