Air Canada Boeing plane bursts into flames seconds after taking off

2. Boeing has its problem but they don't make engines.

GE, Pratt and Roll Royce do make engines. When you understand the physics and stresses involved in even modern high bypass turbofans you'd be amazed they don't all burst into flames once throttled up. It's unfortunate but anything made by humans will fail eventually. And then there's FOD. Foreign object destruction. A simple bolt or nut dropped on the runway by a prior flight (it happens) can get ingested into an engine causing catastrophic destruction. Sucks but that's the world we live in. Ever wonder why crews on aircraft carries walk the deck in line on regular intervals? FOD.
