Plane lands after engine fire (LA bound jet)

A LOS Angeles-bound Qantas airliner which had flames jetting out of one engine has landed safely at Sydney airport.
The Boeing 747 Flight QF149 with 274 people on board was forced to turn back after taking off at 11.58am (AEDT) today, Qantas said.
It landed at 1.20pm (AEDT) after dumping fuel and circling the city's northern beaches, a Qantas spokesman Lloyd Quartermaine said.
He said flames had been seen coming out of one of the engines, but there was no explosion and passengers were not at risk.
"The engine didn't explode," Mr Quartermaine said.
"At this stage we believe it was an engine surge which can lead to a flame jetting out the back of it, but it is not an engine explosion.
"We will be thoroughly inspecting it. It was a flame-out of the aircraft that can be caused when there's an engine surge, but it's not a safety issue of the aircraft," he said.
