Last eve CX 751 out of BKK had and a tyre burst and severe eng fire. Any further news on that, story is that debris fell on the highway in BKK.
All the best to the crew :ok:
Was it in that order? First the tyre burst, then the eng fire?
I wonder if schrapnel from the tyre caused the eng fire...
Seems like the guy in the car got away lucky, also was probably the first time that guy had a rolls royce under his hood :-)
Good job to the 777 crew getting the plane back safe.
Cathay certainly has a bad run of luck with the engines lately.

777 engine d-duct separated during t/o, debris punctured the tyre, landed on the car and caused engine indication problems only.
Crew dumped fuel and returned to BKK. Job well done.
