Enigine FIRE Southwest 737

Extreme Close Up Spotting TPA

[@TPAspotter]

Yikes. I saw maybe a dozen events just like this during the 3 or so years I was working in that area during the construction of the CONRAC. I was always on a first flight out , meaning from one of the jets that overnights at TPA. The plane always just took off. Never saw one abort. It didn't look or sound like an engine surge (or compressor stall) so I just figured it was the burnoff of some fluid that pooled in the engine overnight. IDK.

The roar was amazing

Fuel nozzle problem in the turbine section.

[@CaptainStevenMarkovich]

Thanks for the explanation 👍 scary to watch

Nope it’s coming from the plug cavity. That’s just residual oil from the vent tube burning off. Turbine fire would be on the outer side of the exhaust plug
