SMOC, I think you are reading too much into this. Where do you get the rudder inputs from? I see a wing being lifted by the aileron, then a bit of wing levelling going on and maybe as well rudder is being put in at that stage, but that is still contriving a bit too far. This is not a surge- I think the fire is burning steadily- looks like a serious fuel leak or engine rupture. A surge is a cannon shot type event, an instantaneous 'belch' that may well spew out a momentary flame and sparks (spectacular at night- I was sat next to a 707 engine repeatedly surging and it was amazing). The surge can recover itself or the engine needs to be shut down to prevent overtemperature. Very different things to what is in this video, so any attempts to bring up the LAX incident are irrelevant to this one.
