Dash Cam Video Shows Chicago Fire Responding to American Airlines Flight 383
American Airlines Flight 383, a Boeing 767-300ER, suffered a severe engine fire during takeoff from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on October 28, 2016. The crew aborted the takeoff and evacuated all 170 people on board, with 21 passengers sustaining injuries. The incident was caused by the rupture of a disk in the right engine, leading to a fuel tank in the wing being pierced. The accident resulted in the aircraft being written off. The remarkable dash cam video from the Chicago Fire Department that captured the emergency response to an engine fire incident involving American Airlines Flight 383. The incident occurred in late 2016 as the Boeing 767-300, preparing for takeoff from Chicago to Miami with 161 passengers and 9 crew on board, experienced an uncontained right engine failure. The crew successfully aborted the takeoff and reported a fire coming from the right wing, which was due to a piece from the ruptured engine disk piercing the wing's fuel tank. The video provides a unique perspective on the intensity and challenges of the firefighting efforts at the scene. Notably, the video highlights the impact of wind on firefighting operations, which was significant despite the powerful water and foam streams deployed by the fire trucks. The incident resulted in a few injuries, and the aircraft's fuselage was notably damaged by the fire. This incident also sparked discussions about the importance of engine inspections, effective communication between pilots and flight attendants, and the standardization of emergency procedures. It was also noted that during the evacuation, some passengers tried to take their bags from overhead bins, which is a significant safety concern.

Only took a couple of minutes to get there but it seems like forever in an emergency.  |
