    Oh, just a small engine fire. Gotcha. My bad, that’s cool then. And definitely no recent pattern of problems with Boeing planes either, so that’s also good.

      The engine is located far from the passenger cabin and it has fire suppression systems that probably put out the fire in flight. They have procedures for this that handled the situation so well they didn’t even have to evacuate the aircraft.

      Fires are a risk with any combustion engine. Clearly they mitigated that risk effectively since no one was in any real danger

      Boeing doesn’t make the engines.
