Estonian engine flames during taxi
What is your take on this video? YouTube - VIDEO0047.3gp
Recorded during taxi in after Estonian Air aborted take-off a few days ago.

Time to shut down the engine using normal procedures.
Once an engine goes tits up for any reason (doesn't respond to throttle) leaving the fuel on produces more flame in the taipipe then thrust. While of only minor concern to safety it does excite the SLF and ground observers
No doubt the EGT was fully pegged when the pic was taken

So, basically a tailpipe fire after the previous shutdown for whatever other reason?
