On October 28, 2016, American Airlines Flight 383, a scheduled passenger flight from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois to Miami International Airport, experienced a catastrophic engine failure during takeoff. The Boeing 767-300ER operating the flight, registered as N345AN, suffered an uncontained engine failure that led to a severe fire.

The incident occurred as the aircraft was accelerating for takeoff on runway 28R. The right engine of the Boeing 767-300ER suddenly ruptured its stage 2 disk while operating at takeoff power. This failure resulted in a fragment piercing the wing's fuel tank and causing a significant fire. The crew successfully aborted the takeoff and evacuated all 170 occupants on board, including 161 passengers and 9 crew members. In total, 21 people were injured in the incident.

The smaller fragment of the ruptured disk traveled approximately 2,935 feet, falling through the roof of a United Parcel Service (UPS) facility, but fortunately, no one in the building was injured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and was declared a write-off.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conducted an investigation into the incident. It was determined that the disk failure was due to a "discrete dirty white spot" that would have been undetectable at the time of manufacture or during subsequent inspections with the techniques available. The NTSB issued several safety recommendations as a result of the investigation, focusing on the need for more stringent airworthiness directives for ultrasonic inspection of engines.

From inside the plane.

The 2nd video, that dude sounds like he just ran a 5k. Shit, he probably never moved that fast in his life.

It's nice to see the passengers followed instructions and left their carry-on items behind as they exited via the emergency exits.

Bet that some turds left by the rear exit and slid into the emergency underwear

"American Airlines Flight 383 was a regularly scheduled passenger flight operating from Chicago O'Hare Airport to Miami International Airport. On October 28, 2016, the Boeing 767-300ER operating the flight (registered N345AN), was accelerating for takeoff from Chicago O'Hare's Rwy 28R, when the aircraft's right engine suffered an uncontained failure that led to a severe fire. The crew managed to abort the takeoff and evacuate everyone on board, while fire emergency services managed to put out the fire. Twenty people were injured, and the aircraft was likely damaged beyond repair.

A piece of metal, believed to be from the engine that suffered the uncontained failure, broke through the roof of a United Parcel Service (UPS) facility 2,920 feet (890 m) away from where the aircraft came to a stop and came to rest on the building's floor. No UPS employees were injured"

Why is this so tragic, yet so comical?

The whole "physical perspective" concept is strange to me. When you're right up close to the people it's intense because of how scared they are and the feeling of impending doom. But from, like say maybe a few hundred feet in the air like watching from a chopper, it seems hilarious hearing the little people all "Eeeeee!!!!" and sliding down the inflatable slides and what not.

I hope that makes a little sense and I'm not a complete weirdo.

Accident: American B763 at Chicago on Oct 28th 2016, rejected takeoff, fire at right hand wing due to uncontained engine failure

An American Airlines Boeing 767-300, registration N345AN performing flight AA-383 from Chicago O'Hare,IL to Miami,FL (USA) with 161 passengers and 9 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from O'Hare's runway 28R at about 14:50L (19:50Z) when the crew rejected takeoff at high speed reporting "stopping on the runway", tower acknowledged with "Fire", subsequently adding fire from the right hand wing, the crew requested the trucks. The aircraft slowed and came to a stop with the right hand engine (CF6) ablaze, a large black plume of smoke rising above the aircraft. The crew initiated an emergency evacuation via slides. 19 passengers and one flight attendant received injuries, one serious and 19 minor injuries, in the evacuation and were taken to hospitals. The aircraft received substantial damage, the fuselage skin melted aft of the right hand wing, the outboard part of the right hand wing melted and is down on the ground, the inner part substantially burned.

On Oct 28th 2016 The FAA reported the aircraft blew a tyre prompting the crew to reject takeoff.

The airline reported an engine malfunction prompted the crew to reject takeoff. Seven passengers and one flight attendant received minor injuries and were taken to hospitals.

On Oct 28th 2016 The NTSB reported a tyre blew out resulting in a fire. Investigators have been dispatched on site, an investigation has been opened.

Gossip from Chicago suggested, a number of right hand main tyres burst after the aircraft hit a foreign object on the runway, debris penetrated the right hand inner fuel tank causing a substantial fuel leak and resulting fire.

On Oct 29th 2016 the NTSB reported that an examination of the right hand engine revealed the #2 stage high pressure turbine disk had failed, ejecting parts of the disk, which landed in an UPS warehouse about 2920 feet from the aircraft. So far about 90% of the disk have been recovered including another piece that was found 0.3nm from the accident site. The damage to the fuselage was limited to windows and cosmetic interior, there was no fire inside the cabin. The cause of the engine failure is not yet known. There were 20 minor injuries as result of the evacuation.

On Oct 31st 2016 the FAA reported that the aircraft experienced a right hand engine failure during the takeoff run and stopped on the runway, the occupants evacuated via slides, 10 people received unknown injuries. The right side of the aircraft was damaged by fire. The occurrence was rated an accident.

The flight was cancelled.

On Nov 4th 2016 the NTSB reported the aircraft entered runway 28R at taxiway N5 and was accelerating for takeoff through 128 KIAS 6,550 feet past the runway 28R threshold with the engines at takeoff power, when the right hand engine failed, two seconds later the power levers were retarded at 134 KIAS and brake pressures began to increase as autobrakes activated and speedbrakes automatically extended. The aircraft came to a full stop about 25 seconds later 9,225 feet past the runway 28R threshold with a pool fire below its right hand wing fed by a fuel leak. The right hand engine's stage 2 high pressure turbine disk had fractured into at least 4 pieces, one piece went through the right hand wing, over the fuselage and into a UPS warehouse. The majority of the disk was collected and sent to Washington for lab examination, results so far show one of the fractures showed indications of fatigue cracking initiated at an internal inclusion near the forward side of the hub's inner bore.

The NTSB continued the disk at accumulated 10,984 cycles with a limit of 15,000 life cycles.

On Mar 24th 2017 the NTSB reported there was one serious and 19 minor injuries. The investigation is ongoing.

On Jul 6th 2017 the NTSB opened their public docket into the investigation.

That looked to have been rather fun.
