Engine fire on Atlas Air Boeing 747 departing from Miami Airport tonight. Flight circled back and landed a few minutes later.

Good thing Jen Psaki was riding in the jump seat to take over the flight...
Lol!
D.I.E.
Miami, and Flaming
Kinda go hand in hand

Aviation is very unforgiving.
Probably an engine compressor stall/surge:

Or a bird strike/ingestion.

Yep, a leading cause cause of compressor stall...sometimes unrecoverable depending on bird size & number...ask Sully! ;-)
DEI maintenance crews
The feral government is addressing the root of this problem by ordering aircraft maintenance firms to go totally WOKE DEI.
They will no longer be allowed to discriminate against prospective employees who have no experience, no skills or mechanical / technical aptitude.
They will be required to hire more non-white gay and tranny job applicants who are blind, low IQ, double or quadruple amputees.
DEI mechanics. This along with DEI pilots will cause the public not to fly, this is the plan, limit your travel. Electric cars only that most people cant afford, airlines hiring DEI candidates to discourage travelers canceling your gas powered anything including your car
I second that.
An interesting fact:
A four engine jet is twice as likely to experience an engine failure as a two engine jet. It is just pure mathematical logic and also one of the bases for the introduction of ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operations Performance Standards). This allows modern twin engine jets to fly further than 60 minutes from a suitable landing field, generally over water. Certain procedures and restrictions apply.
Compressor stalls happen.

If they’d had a one-legged, black, lesbian, dwarf, red haired, green eyed, midget in the pilot’s seat, that fire wouldn’t have happened. All would have gone well.
“Probably an engine compressor stall/surge:”
Nope. Climate change.
Correct. That’s why the completely non-diverse Japanese all live in caves, have IQs of 50, and haven’t even discovered electricity yet. If only they had imported millions of random people from failed countries around the world, and weakened their culture with sexual deviancy and all sorts of third-world beliefs, they would have been able to enjoy the same benefits of a modern diverse society that we do…poop on the sidewalks, rampant crime, reappearance of long-conquered diseases, gender confusion,and constantly being called a “racist” or “____phobe” for being concerned about such things.

Give me a choice, and I’d rather be apassenger in a 4 engine get with a single engine failure than a twin engine jet
Atlas flies the last 747, tail number N863CT, but that plane’s flight out of Miami looks to have been fine:

There’s an old joke about that.
A plane loses an engine. The pilot comes on the PA and assures everything is all right. It’ll just take an extra hour to reach the destination. A man says to his buddy, if we lose that other engine we’ll be up here all night.

A softball sized hole was found in the number 2 engine.
