Anyone with clips? 


From The Associated Press:

DALLAS (AP) -- A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration says an American Airlines jet has made an emergency landing in Dallas shortly after takeoff when one of its engines and its landing gear caught fire.

FAA spokesman Roland Herwig tells the Dallas Morning News the plane landed safely on a runway around 8 p.m. CDT after dumping its fuel in midair. The Boeing 777 was bound for Brazil before making a U-turn back to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

The FAA hasn't determined what caused the fire.

Many stories are now being updated to say there was probably no engine fire after all. It does look like the landing gear took a beating after the overweight landing though.

Very chopy but you did a great job putting it together. I liked the part when he asked the Fire Chief to take a look at the engine when they land
