Photographer’s remark

N973AN Fire on engine two after probably a bird strike, a lot of smoke seen in this shot and not much fire, didn't get the fire coming out, sorry. Landing was successful and everybody was ok, photo was bought by most of the local newspapers and two tv stations here, very very scary stuff.
