>> as they start to take off, roll, the airplane is going right down the runway. the tower tells the pilots you have got fire behind the aircraft. there is a cockpit warning indication that there is believed to be a fire in the number two engine. >> but once the plane reach as critical speed, it cannot stop. the pilot's best hope is to get airborne so they can deal with the problem. >> typically when you are committed to flight, which this crew was, they want to climb to a safe altitude before they start taking corrective action. >> but the ability to fly has been compromised by the fire. >> h...
