On April 18, 2018, at about 1809 eastern daylight time, a Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-300, N806NW, equipped with two Pratt Whitney PW4168A-1D engines, experienced a No. 2 engine fire during initial climb from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), Atlanta, Georgia. • The flight crew reported a No. 2 engine fire electronic centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM) indication at about 500 feet AGL, declared an emergency, shutdown the No. 2 engine, discharged both fire bottles, and initiated an air turn back to KATL. • During the return to ATL, the fire warning indication cleared, and the airplane made an uneventful overweight single engine landing. • After the aircraft landed, airport rescue firefighting (ARFF) crews met the plane on the runway, quickly covering the engine - and runway - in fire retardant foam. • The airplane was ultimately towed to the gate and the passengers disembarked. There were no injuries to passengers or crew and the airplane sustained substantial damage. • The flight was being operated in accordance with 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 and was a regularly scheduled flight from KATL to London Heathrow International Airport (EGLL), London, England. • Of note: The audio between 6:25 - 6:59 captures an air traffic controller flipping out. That is somewhat noteworthy on its own, but what I actually want to point out is that the controller loses his cool and then almost immediately provides an incorrect instruction. • [The audio in this piece is obviously not in sync with the video. In a few cases it may not even be in sync with itself. For whatever reason, ATL's recordings duplicated many sections of recorded audio within as well as between files. It took a lot to bring both the video (which had its own issues) and the audio to where they are now. C'est la vie. Enjoy.]
