It might be an accident from yesteryear but well worth revisiting. 747 touches down normally. Full reverse on all engines selected. But No 1 engine has an undetected reverser system fault and goes to full forward thrust and it took critical seconds before the fault was recognised. Resulted in ground loop and fire as landing gear collapsed.
