Laudamotion Evacuation at Stansted
It appears that a Laudamotion A320 has put all the passengers down the chutes on to the Stansted runway after landing. no more details at this time but I am sure it will all become clear soon. obviously the airport is closed at the moment

I saw it happen from my office window.
Huge yellow flame from the port side engine, lasted about 4 seconds, and then a large burst of white sparks, similar to when you see welding taking place, but they 'spat out' rather then fell out the back of the engine.
Looked like the aircraft moved a few feet before aborting, no real speed had built up at all.

Check out he history on FR24, did a flight on 26th, then did a non revenue service flight to Dusseldorf on 27th, went back to Vienna on non revenue flight on 1st March before starting to run in commercial service again which was the Vienna to Stansted leg.
Would be curious if some issue was identified earlier that was thought to be resolved but was not?

I thought it was rather extreme that they waited 3 hours before reopening the runway (their only one):

I guess this means that the TLs were still at REV IDLE when the masters were switched off.

Saw photos shot soon after the EVAC showing scenes around the A320 and behind it, and on the runway looked like a load of bits and pieces - so did the engine cough out it's guts?

There is a video on youtube in which it sounds like an engine or the APU is still running...shouldn‘t be the case if the FD initiated an Evac in my oppinion - or am I wrong here?

How : engine surge on take off roll
Grateful if someone here can explain to me (SLF) how can a engine surge happen during a take of roll ? After all, isn't there enough forward motion to ensure enough airflow into the engine intake ? Thank you.
I'm not sure that any of this is bad (in this case)

In this particular incident, the same witness also reported seeing:
