Currently just Tweets and locals talking about this, nothing on news sites yet. Lots of stuff in the Twitter feed, including links to uploaded videos of the smoking mess.

Yes, I saw that story too. Did an emergency diversion, they sent a 747 to pick up the passengers. Somewhere in Asia IIRC.

I wonder who made the engines?

They're either:

  1. General Electric GE90
  2. Pratt & Whitney PW4000
  3. Rolls Royce Trent 800

Failure of a "stub pipe" deep within the hot section of a Rolls Royce Trent 900 nearly caused the crash of an Airbus A380 on 4 November 2010. The engine underwent an uncontained failure of a second-stage (IPT) turbine disk.

Drudge is saying “cargo plane” - yet there appear to be passengers on board as well.

I hear ya. I haven’t been on a plane in decades. No money to fly, and after having first kid, afraid to fly.

I loved to fly when I was young, now I don’t fly at all.
It got so my insides would lock up for days after arriving.
Maybe it’s because I was an aircraft mech...?

Great coverage on ABC right now. The top of the plane is almost completely gone. Charred fuselage, all torn up. It looks terrible.

Looks like a passenger aircraft to me...And by what is being reported...

Hard to believe no one died here. If this is the case, these people are very lucky...

‘Cept the wings are still on it...

Looks to have been a severe internal fire, between the trailing edge of the wing and the cockpit. Roof entirely burned off.
