Navy CH-46 on fire after aft engine burst

A Navy CH-46 Sea Knight's aft engine bursts into flames on takeoff filling fuselage with flames and smoke. The video is taken from inside the chopper.
A leaking transmission line was spraying fluid into the aft generator causing the fire. The accident happened in September 1998 aboard the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard.
