Ours was snagged for slow to accelerate and after stabilising all the engines we proceeded to do slam checks at which point No 2 spat its dummy out along with the turbine IGV’s and a fair bit of the turbine, some speared and stuck in the detuners Colander, the rest went up and out like a mushroom cloud, the fire cover cpl sitting out front presented with his first real aircraft fire missed it lol, as we dumped the extinguisher into it and chopped the fuel.. the boss was worried of repercussions but I suggested what is better, us catching it on the detuner or it failing somewhere hot and high, full of pax on take off.
