American Airlines Flight 383 (2016)
American Airlines Flight 383 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Illinois to Miami International Airport. On October 28, 2016, the Boeing 767 operating the flight suffered an uncontained engine failure on the second engine during takeoff that ignited a fire. The crew rejected the takeoff and evacuated everyone on board, with 21 occupants being injured—there were no fatalities. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair, making this accident the 17th hull loss of a Boeing 767. The accident was caused by the rupture of a disk in the starboard engine, with one fragment piercing the fuel tank in the wing. The investigation revealed the need for more stringent directives for ultrasonic inspection of engine components.
