What do they mean by this?
There were reports that pilots had complained of strong winds on the runway. Experts suggested that a powerful gust could have forced the pilot to put too much pressure on the engine during take-off, making it burst into flames.
It means they are talking out of their collective @rse.
The only conceivable interpretation I could put on this is the possibility of a compressor stall due to airflow blanking in a crosswind. Not a viable "cause" I think.
