MAS Engine Failure Picture
*The image should be here but since the photographer didn’t respond to my request for re-publishing, I can’t display it here*
An image was captured by a plane spotter in Stockholm back in Nov 2006. Go here to see the picture.
Explanation from the photographer.
About 10 seconds after liftoff from runway 19R something happens with the left engine. Alot of smoke and fragments of metal and other material falls down on the runway. At first the pilots don’t get any indications in the cockpit and plan to go on to Kuala Lumpur. Then we decide to call Arlanda duty officer to make sure that they have noticed the pieces from the engine on the runway. Shortly after that the pilots requests fueldump and return to ARN safely
Fortunately nothing bad happened.

You know what the ironic thing is? The sentence on the plane body says visit Malaysia Year 2007 and that’s the plane you are flying.
