ENGINE FIRE on Takeoff Roll. Southwest 737. REAL ATC

The fire truck on site proceeded to the aircraft fire trainer to release a load of fire retardant, in order to alleviate the condition of epididymal hypertension.

Smoke coming out of the engine? That might be a bit of a concern.

The taxi portion wasnt sped up at all

Can someone explain to me what the firing of bottles means? I never heard that before. Airplanes are fitted with fire extinguisher bottles in the engines thar pilots can fire into the engines to put out a fire?

My plane caught fire once when I was leaving San Andras. The police were firing on me and a helicopter was shooting missiles at me. I had to escape with only my parachute and my gun. Thank God I was able to get a ride home before I ran out of energy.

Seems like southwest has a lot of these incidents……….😮

There sure is a lot of southwest planes having problems I think I will stop flying with them.

I find it interesting how all of these groups - ground vehicles, airplane, ground controllers, in flight controllers, gates, emergency, and others, talk with each other , switch frequencies, communicate at such a high level so everyone knows what everyone else is doing, and at the same time keeping themselves and others safe. No one seems to overreact or act entitled, pilot who just had to abort takeoff and had to apply heavy braking, pulls safely off runway, stated he had to stay clear of loading gates, thought about flaps, activate extinguishers, among everything else he had to do to control the aircraft. Emergency ground crews inspected, gave feedback and responded to pilots request. Everyone was calm and respectful. 👍🏼 to all.

All I could think of was….let those people out of the plane

ÕMĞ é Dhidd thâý Đéíđs ¿¿¿¿

why was that so interesting???

Such a calm and professional way of dealing with a potentially deadly incident. They made it sound routine, even though it is definitely not.

This pilot probably never had something like this happen before and will probably never have something like this happen again. But handled it like it was a standard occurrence.

And fire command really did a great job providing information and support.

well at least it happened before they got up into the air so that's good.

Which tire do you think is flat?
The one on fire.

I like that the firefighters keep backing away from the fiery plane but all the passengers are still stuck on board.

Everyone is calm af while the passengers in the back think the plane is going to explode at any moment! 🤣

What was determined to be the cause of the fire? My guess would be bird-strike.

Question: I know he was waiting to continue taxiing because the brakes needed to cool. But why can’t they just move it super slowly? I’d imagine that an airplane has a ton of rolling resistance, so couldn’t they just taxi at like 2mph and let rolling resistance bring it to a stop if needed?

Superb and professional communication on all accounts. Beautifully handled!

This is textbook teamwork and proof the safety planning works and works well.

Good call on the pilot aborting takeoff like that, saved everyone on board

Never understood why the fire and emergency vehicles are positioned so far away from where their services might be needed - I.E. nearer the runways. It is just expense that gets in the way of having fire suppression hoses actually built in to the runway edge so that it could be remotely activated within seconds of being required? (Not applicable in this case obviously - but could have happened if the fire had not been contained.)

Hmmm. Active fire confirmed by fire trucks. I would evacuate on the first officers’s side (right side) of ac. Take care of them pax! Even though certain injury would occur during evac. Hardest call of all emergencies though, Captain to order an evacuation.

Oh the poor yachters 😢

The only thing that kept this from being a textbook scenario was the passenger that had to jump up and mull around the cabin...LOL

Love the professionalism and calm demeanor of everybody involved. Fantastic job!

Better than UNIONIZED DEMONIC FIREMEN IN CA, CO, ETC. LET IT BURN!!! WE MAKE MORE MONEY, IF THE CONTRACTORS IN Large AIRCRAFT PUT THE FIRE OUT!!! HELICOPTERS ARE A JOKE FOR FIRES, TOYS SO UNIONIZED A HOLES GET TO LEARN TO FLY AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE. Sad however too TRUE.

That rhyme went unnoticed 😅

Guess they need to return to station to play with their hoses diversity mechanics . Notice the increase in problems lately

Have you ever noticed nobody in aviation calls an engine a " motor" ? That's because they are required to have an education. 😂

I wish my flight taxied that fast

Great vid. Thanks!

still waiting til the day you fix "R" alignment on the opening screen lol

Why does teamwork always make me feel good?

Excellent work by everybody, especially the pilots. A good outcome from a near miss?

Is it normal to ask airplane to move after observed engine fire?

Could someone explain to me what they mean with the "firing a Bottle"?

Could have been much more intense if the fire happened a few seconds later at V1 and the flight went airborne. A safe outcome might still have been expected but all of that would have happened in the sky while maneuvering an emergency return with one engine. Hats off to the safety engineering and pilot professionalism protecting us all.

And the passengers got up - just saying 😱

At the start tower says turn right, but in the simulation the plane turns left. Huh.

Great job all the way around. It would have been much worse had they actually gotten airborne.

Definitely don't want an engine doing anything weird.

As a non-native English speaker I'm always amazed how people understand this mumble by dispatchers. It's harder to make out words than watching Nolan's movie :) . I wonder if these interactions are clear to understand without subtitles to the English speakers.

Potential flat tire??? Sounds like the pilot that did walk around didnt do the full walk aroubd.

I have often wondered why planes are not fitted with outboard cameras strategically placed so that the captain can see what is happening outside of his plane

Amazing work
