The Boeing 777 flight took place on June 5. The engine of the plane was filmed by some bystanders who were around while it was still taking off.
Luckily, no injuries or deaths were reported as the plane managed to return safely back to the airport.
According to Air Canada, “Video posted to the internet of the incident shows the engine at point of compressor stall which can happen with a turbine engine when its aerodynamics are affected. This result could be due to several factors leading gas flow through engines (and fuel) igniting further down engine hence flames visible in video footage’’. “It is not the engine on fire’’.
