I wasn’t sure about putting this in Breaking, so I didn’t.

Bad as that smoke was it’ll probably be a hull-loss. Complete write off.

I find it odd because it looks like both engines are in flames. FOD ?

Would you like the smoking or non-smoking section?

It could be that the brakes and tires are on fire, which could explain all black smoke.

I zoomed that view to 300% — and I don’t think the port side engine is on fire. In fact if looks like the fire is coming from the belly of the aircraft.

So...cargo hold fire.

Or “center fuel tank” spontaneous explosion?
