Air India flight from Newark forced back after engine fire | NJ.com
(revised story says no bird strike)
TV clip on this had pilot-to-tower discussion with tower asking if maybe the pilot's reported observation was some dust kicked up. I believe it may have reported tires blowing on landing.
Searching this event found a 2007 pprune thread on a 777 engine fire at takeoff in Newark.
(Sorry if this duplicates a current thread here I missed.)
