Poor representation of facts by the artist.

1. Night event. I've yet to see trees from ANY altitude at night. It's just dark.
2. Flames came out of the engine exhausts during start attempts(one at a time).
3. Drawing shows flames going sideways towards #1 engine. At 450+ KTAS?
4. Flames billowing up high above wing. At 450+ KTAS?
4a. Or are flames billowing sideways towards the tail? At 450+ KTAS?
5. Slats are extended. A/c was in cruise when the 'flames' were present.

Real engines fires don't look that, especially not at 450+ KTAS.
