Something on fire at FAJS?

[flyboy2]

A telephonic report just received, at 11:20, about something on fire at FAJS!
Any more news?

Its probably fire crew training exercises-they have a MD-11/747 mockup fire rig midfield near the TWR complex, they train fairly often putting out controlled fires

Sounds like things getting a little hot to handle at 1Time

I belive the Captain did his run up checks at the holding point of 03L, he discovered and found there was a problem with one of the magneto's so decided to pull the carb heat and lean the mixture, thus resulted in a stage 3 turbo charger engine failure on take off, although no damage was caused to the spinner, safety precautions were made and the captain and f/o made the decision to evauate the red rocket.

Thanks Bob! U must be that wonderful, clever, vigilant, Chuck Yeager E-News reporter that always seems to be on those pesky flights where everything always goes wrong! Must be a dangerous job, but someone's got to do it, always at the war's front! Keep up the good reporting, the world needs YOU!
