And later the same day a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300ER returned to Changi with engine problems.

After landing the right wing caught fire and it was captured on video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieF8CsJ1yNY

At the beginning of the video you can catch a few words of the cabin crew announcement. Whatever they said it worked as all the passengers are remarkably calm despite the blaze outside.

If the video from inside looks scary, this one from the ground crew who were waiting for it looks even worse! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jC-2NhU10Q

Everyone on board walked away uninjured.

Omg we really would have been evacuating out the other side. The whole thing could have blown up. There's no way I'd just sit there with a fire like that raging right next to the fuel tanks!
