Original Note:
The engine did not catch fire. This appears to be a compressor stall, which results in burning fuel briefly being expelled from the back of the engine. This happens with all jet engines when airflow becomes disrupted and is not related to Boeing at all. https://avherald.com/h?article=518a8699&opt=0 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressor_stall https://www.boldmethod.com/blog/lists/2019/05/seven-reasons-compressor-stalls-cause-jet-turbine-engine-failures/
