A Korean Air Boeing 777 has suffered an engine fire just prior to take off from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport according to Reuters.
All 302 passengers and 17 crew were evacuated safely.
It is understood that the engine fire developed just as the Boeing 777 was about to start its take-off roll.
According to local news sources 12 occupants received injuries in the evacuation.
And in an extremely worrying trend passengers again ignored crew instructions and took their carry-on baggage with them.
Passengers are risking their lives and those of their fellow passengers taking their baggage with them in an evacutaion.
This Korean Air 777-300 (HL-7534) was delivered to the airline in 1998 and is powered by two Pratt and Whitney PW PW4098 engines.
