Looks like #14 Kreuger flap panel jammed on the outboard side during flap extension. They were lucky it was spotted from the outside as the flap drive unit was extended and would have indicated green on the LE flap annunciator and position indicator. Once again the Media did their usual sensationalist reporting. I think a turn back rather than an aborted T/O would have been more appropriate.
