    The headline says '737', but it was really a 747 cargo conversion.

    In any case, a rather large hole was found in the top of the
    engine. The video is rather dramatic ... the thing was shooting
    out bright bursts of fire all the way down. Likely threw a
    2nd-stage turbine blade.

    Atlas got the last 747 to be built in 2023. The article said this one was
    8 years old so it might not have been a DEI product.

    Both Airbus and Boeing don't build the engines for their airliners.

    Boeing 747 engines are either GE, P&W or Rolls Royce.

    Daily Mail has updated its website. This is what it says:

    "The aircraft is eight years old, Flightradar24 data showed. The 747-8
    model is powered by four General Electric GEnx engines, according to
    Boeing's website."
