Seems like the guys did a good job of securing it & getting the a/c back on the ground-
An All Nippon Airways plane made an emergency landing at Tokyo's Narita airport on Thursday after one of its twin engines caught fire shortly after takeoff on a flight to China, officials said. None of the 133 people on board the Boeing 767-300 were injured and the plane returned safely to the airport, said Michiko Sugimoto, an ANA spokesperson in Narita. The airport closed a runway for about 20 minutes while the plane was being towed, she said. The plane had taken off from Narita for Xiamen on China's southeastern coast. "The pilot heard thumps and felt mild jolts 100 metres after takeoff and flight instruments indicated an abnormality," Sugimoto said. "An air controller also reported seeing flames coming from the left engine at the time." The engine was stopped a minute after takeoff. "We are investigating the cause of the engine trouble," she said.
Does anyone know what donkeys ANA have on their 767's? Would be interesting if it was a CF-6 and even more interesting if it was one of those affected by the AD that resulted from the AA 767 engine self-destruct in LAX.
