Mid-Air Horror: Flames Erupt from Air Canada Boeing 777 Jet During Takeoff (VIDEO)
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 8, 2024 | Jim Hoft

In a terrifying event caught on camera, flames were seen shooting from an Air Canada Boeing jet during takeoff, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing. The incident involved Flight AC872, which was en route from Toronto to Paris late Wednesday.

The video shows the shocking moment when flames erupted at the aircraft’s wing fuel tanks just after it left the runway.

Speaking to CP24, Air Canada confirmed in a statement that the flames resulted from an unspecified “engine issue” that occurred immediately after takeoff. The Boeing 777 aircraft had 389 passengers onboard at the time of the incident.

“After the aircraft landed, it was inspected by airport response vehicles as per normal operating processes, and it taxied to the gate on its own,” said a representative from Air Canada. “The aircraft will be taken out of service for further evaluation by our maintenance and engineering professionals.”

Very odd that the flame-out was occurring about every 3 seconds.

If that fire impingement on the wing and flaps lasted very long, it might become a tank problem.

Jim Hoft needs to take a chill pill. It was a compressor stall. It happens. The engine often stops the compressor stall when brought back to toward idle. The jet equivalent to a backfire. Emergency yes, but Hoft’s panicked breathing is reminiscent of a 12 year old girl when she loses her diary.

Jim Hoft posted this as a source:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) highlighted this concern in a notice issued on March 25, 2024, which revealed that an “electrostatic discharge” near the center-wing fuel tanks could act as an ignition source, leading to a possible fire or explosion.

Jim Hoft misinterpreted a technical alert from the FAA which has ZERO to do with a compressor stall or even related to it.

The fire seen is coming from behind the engine which is normal with some compressor stalls. Believe it or not, when that happens, it is preferable to when the compressor stall permits forward pressure at the intake of the engine.

Regardless, it is something that every pilot is rigorously trained to handle.

Nothing to do with a “tank”...it is an engine compressor stall:

It deals with a fire risk related to the center wing tank.

That AD is for a missing ground strap on a vent for the center wing tank, and was determined to be an item that can be corrected during the next scheduled deep maintenance cycle.
