Yes, there was a loud bang and quite a commotion at our office which is adjacent to the runway. Attached are some photos taken from our office when it occurred. The plane is still on the runway, now two hours since the incident. All three other runways are operational it appears.

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.
