The BA B777-200 bound for Gatwick from Las Vegas had an engine fire while preparing for takeoff, according to the Seattle Times.

This could have been a really nasty accident with the amount of fuel on-board - everyone was very lucky to escape safely (only two minor injuries).

Seattle Times Coverage with some amazing images.
