Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:
Seven passengers and a flight attendant suffered minor injuries when an American Airlines flight bound for Miami caught fire on a runway at O’Hare International Airport as it was taking off Friday afternoon.
The pilot of Flight 383, a Boeing 767, aborted the takeoff as it rolled down runway 28R around 2:35 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The 161 passengers and nine crew members were evacuated down emergency chutes on the left side of the plane while the wing on the right side burned, according to the airline and video on the scene.
The FAA said the problem started with a blown tire, but American said the takeoff was aborted due to an engine-related mechanical issue.
A controller radioed the plane when it suddenly came to a stop, according to a recording of the radio traffic. “American 383 … stopping on the runway,” the controller said.
“Roger, roger, fire,” the pilot radioed.
“You see any smoke or fire?” the controller asked.
“Yea, fire off the right wing.”
“OK, send out the trucks.”
A few seconds later, the pilot contacts the tower again. “Chicago, American 383, we’re evacuating.”
“American 383, roger, trucks are on the way.”
As the plane caught fire, a large rounded piece of metal smashed through the roof of a UPS facility on the airport grounds and bounced off the floor, according to an airport worker.
Runways 10L-28R, 10C-28C and 15/33 were closed after the incident.

This from Steve Redick:
Tuesday (10/25/16), 2047 Cermak Rd. One-story restaurant with exposures to two similar. There was heavy fire in the rear of the building when companies arrived and the fire eventually consumed the entire building of origin, but due to solid brick walls between sides A and D the fire seemed confined to only one structure. This is normally a congested, densely populated neighborhood and the sidewalks are elevated, making the gangways 1/2-story below ground as well as allowing for some unusual basement access.TL 5, Squad 1, a multi-versal and a point of vantage line were used and heavy smoke conditions were present for well over an hour. This was an interesting job that yielded some nice images. The video as well as all the images can be seen here:Steve
