In 1975, an Overseas National Airways
DC-10-30 was destroyed as the result of
ingesting several gulls into one of its
engines during its takeoff roll at Kennedy
Airport. The resultant catastrophic explosive
disintegration of the engine caused the wing
and side of the aircraft to burn intensely even
before the aircraft came to rest beyond the
end of the runway.
