(CNN)The right-side engine of an American Airlines Boeing 767 failed Friday during an attempted takeoff, sending debris as far as a half mile and passengers hurriedly down emergency slides onto a runway at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Three sources familiar with the unfolding investigation told CNN the General Electric engine suffered an apparent "uncontained" failure.
The 161 terrified passengers and nine crew members scrambled to safety Friday afternoon after huge flames erupted on the right side of the plane.
The rare, but extremely serious, engine failure sent debris from the engine spewing across the south side of the expansive airfield. Part of the engine's fan disc were found a half mile away on a hangar used by UPS, two sources said.

As in TurbineD's AA 767 news article posted above, the engine parts were flung a half mile away.
