Blue Streak 5320 heard a loud bang on takeoff on 36C, said they were coming back.

They did a low pass down the runway, the gear looked good but several aircraft on the ground confirmed that something was venting off the right wing.

They took vectors for a full stop to 36R, pulled off the runway and immediately evacuated the pax. The fire trucks reported a lot of fuel on the runway.

Another day at the office, good job and great outcome except for the deer .
