Details of British Airways Flight 2276 Incident
A 16 years old Boeing 777-236ER, s/n 29320, registered as G-VIIO delivered new to British Airways on 26 January 1999 left Terminal 3, Gate E3, at 15:53 local time, and began its take-off from Runway 07L at 16:12 where the incident occurred.
After noticing what the pilot later described as a “catastrophic failure of the engine” well before take-off speed, the flight crew aborted the take-off by using the aircraft’s brakes
The airport’s emergency services extinguished the fire within five minutes of the mayday call.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) indicated the fire was caused by the failure of the left General Electric GE90 engine, one of two fitted on the aircraft. The aircraft came to a halt upwind, causing the fire to be blown towards the fuselage; the aircraft sustained localised, but major, structural damage as a result. The aircraft was equipped with suppression systems, though the systems did not extinguish the fire
All 170 passengers and crew escaped. Nineteen people sustained minor injuries and one person sustained serious injuries.
