Another 777 engine failure
I was on an AA flight from Delhi to Chicago in Dec. 2006 and we lost the left engine at V1 as we started to rotate. Flames shot 2ft forward and (as I was told), 30ft backwards from the engine; must have been spectacular from the ground at night. The pilot shut down the left engine, and took the plane up to around 3,000 ft. He dumped about 50,000 lbs of fuel for 11 of the 13 minutes of the flight; the landing on one engine was perfect. The pilot sat in front of me the next night and said that it was just like the flight simulators - I truly wonder how good the 777 engines really are.
