I’ve seen a lot of engine fire videos and this didn’t look like a normal engine fire. There really isn’t anything very exciting about an engine fire. They just shut the engine down and fly on one which is always possible in a part 121 aircraft.

Agreed. This fire looked different—with the fire appearing in front of the engine, not the back.

If I have an engine fire on takeoff it is a nuisance, not a complete emergency if handled correctly. The engine is still providing thrust so no need to shut it down. This is curious to me.

It looked like a fuel line might have come loose and raw fuel was feeding the fire.
