Very sad news.

In-flight fire in the #2 engine.  They did get her on the ground (on the gear) but the center section was consumed by fire...   

[Paul Dumm]

Theres some photos of her in flight and it show the fire back mid wing away from the engine.

Fuel leak touched off from the exhaust near #2's turbo?  So sad.  Really happy everyone walked away, though.
