About this video

A few seconds after take-off from Zurich airport (in 2001), the left engine of this A330 flames out. This phenomenon happens when the fuel combustion can not be realised inside the engine (lack of oxygen, water ingestion …). The engine can shut down and must be restarted in flight.
