    Poor fire truck. That was so mean! They didn't get to put out the fire!
  • @BillySugger1965
    Highly professional job all round. This is what happens when everyone works well together. Great job folks!
  • @julianbrelsford
    Great example of why they always plan ahead, to reject takeoff before they've reached v1, if the any of the engines or airspeed indicators fail. The engine fire happened and got extinguished before the temp sensors even told the pilots there was a fire; nowhere you'd rather be than be standing near a fire truck when that happens.

    Such a calm and professional way of dealing with a potentially deadly incident. They made it sound routine, even though it is definitely not. This pilot probably never had something like this happen before and will probably never have something like this happen again. But handled it like it was a standard occurrence. And fire command really did a great job providing information and support.

    Could have been much more intense if the fire happened a few seconds later at V1 and the flight went airborne. A safe outcome might still have been expected but all of that would have happened in the sky while maneuvering an emergency return with one engine. Hats off to the safety engineering and pilot professionalism protecting us all.

    Great job done by everyone. Professional, kept one another informed and everyone kept a cool head.
  • @JohanBosClips
    All parties involved are handling this very calm and professional. Good example of how you should deal with an emergency.

    Great job by everyone. I really wish more passengers would listen to these to understand that they shouldn't get up before being told to do so. They need to understand that they cause delays when they do that. Like the Air Canada flight in Toronto that had to go around because a passenger stood up to go to the bathroom while on Final. Earlier this year had a passenger stand up during the approach while all of the flight attendants were strapped in. A couple of them unstrapped to get this person back in their seat. Not just being selfish and stupid but also risking injury and the lives of others. Sit down!
  • Superb and professional communication on all accounts. Beautifully handled!
