This report is somewhat different.....

A Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747-400, re-positioning flight SV-9302 from Cairo (Egypt) to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) with 22 crew, rejected takeoff from Cairo at low speed around 07:30L (04:30Z) when engine #4 (outer right) failed leaving debris behind on the runway. The airplane slowed safely.

The runway was closed for about 2.5 hours until the debris was removed.
Usually the B747-400 can be identified by winglets on the outer portion of the wings

Anyway they are improving, last time they lost the whole engine after takeoff in Jeddah and i dont mean Saudia......
