An Airbus A330-343 operated by Philippine Airlines aborted takeoff at Manila Airport due to engine trouble, which was photographed by an aviation fan.
The aircraft, with registration number RP-C8781, was scheduled to operate as flight PAL684 to Doha on January 28. During the early stages of the take-off run, the number two engine, a Rolls-Royce Trent 700, developed a problem, which was determined to be an engine stall.

Footage of the accident has been shared on social media, showing the moment the problem occurred while the plane was still on the runway. The airline did not release additional details about the technical cause of the problem, which is expected to be determined through maintenance inspections in accordance with safety procedures.
