Back in September,a British Airways 777 flying from Las Vegas to London Gatwick caught on fire while it was taking off. The footage of the incident was dramatic, with huge flames erupting from the engine and even engulfing the fuselage of the plane.
Fortunately everyone got out alive, or there were just some minor injuries (mostly from the evacuation process). That's fairly incredible,when you see the extent of damage there was to the plane.
At the time, most assumed the plane would be written off and never hover again, or given the extent of the damage to the fuselage.
After the plane has been sitting on the ground at Las Vegas McCarran Airport for a few months (which has cost $375 per day to park -- that doesn't strike me as much at all),it has been decided that the plane will be repaired and returned to service.
