Singapore 777-300ER catches fire after emergency landing due to fuel leak
A Singapore Airlines plane has caught fire while making an emergency landing at Changi Airport. Flight SQ368 from Changi to Milan was two hours into its journey when the pilot reported engine problems and turned back towards Singapore.

I'm with you Mike SUT. WOW I was amazed watching this that it was made by a pax inside the aircraft. i haven't seen any SOPs that don't call for immediate pax evac for fire while on the ground. i would have to assume there were ample indicators of fire on the flight deck, if not solely the flight attendant yells. those are usually pretty hard to miss.
Hard to understand why the passengers were not evacuated.
Years ago I witnessed a similar engine fire in Frankfurt as I was waiting behind a Lufthansa preparing to roll.
The right engine literally exploded before my eyes and the ensuing fire engulfed the entire wing and right side of the fuselage.
All th passengers were immediately evacuated safely within minutes.

Was it ultimately an "uncontained" engine failure ensuing and resulting from the oil pressure problem, the turbine bearings'screaming'for lubrication otherwise we seize? What else could cause such fire along the trailing edge of the wing as shown in the video, other than wing fuel tank penetration by 'foreign object debris' Remember the devastating Concord crash?
Why did the crew not initiate a rapid decent and fuel dump (they had to ultimately anyhow) and land at the closest airports (Penang WMKP or Kuala Lumpur WMKK on their route.

OMG no evacuation very lame crew
Did you see the size of that fire in the video? OK, maybe the fire crews told the pilots not to worry, but what the sam hill were the cabin attendants doing?
We're talking about this calmly now because everyone got out OK. But if one of those fuel tanks on the right side had exploded and the crews had ordered everyone to sit still, this would have been a disaster for the history books ... made worse by the lunacy of convincing people to simply sit tight and not worry.
I'm with Mike SUT ... I'd have ordered an evac on the port side.

Yes, and if any smoke or the smell of burning, land FAST anyplace, considering Swissair at Halifax a few years ago.
