This aircraft first flew in 1972, it was nearly 45 years old! This seems to be a landing mishap rather than 'an engine fire' as the TV coverage is focusing on. Interestingly though, it is also a GE CF-6 engine, like the 767 in Chicago earlier.

Surely this aircraft (and the other MD10s) should have been resigned to the bin years ago?
