This picture just seems off. I do believe there actually was an engine fire on this aircraft, but it seems suspicious that someone captured its exact moment. Seems more likely that they doctored an existing picture. The pictures below are real, so it did happen. Can anyone find the original of the above picture to prove this doctored?

The JT8-D is a very reliable engine. They don’t just catch on fire, let alone a fire that can’t be extinguished by the fire protection systems.
