ONA Flight 032 left the gate at 12:56 EST for a ferry 
flight to Jeddah via Frankfurt. The passengers were all 
ONA employees. The aircraft taxied to runway 13R and 
commenced take-off at 13:10. Shortly after accelerating 
through 100 knots, but before reaching the V1 speed, a 
flock of birds were seen to rise from the runway. The 
aircraft struck many birds and the take-off was rejected. 
Bird strikes had damaged the no. 3 engine's fan blades, 
causing rotor imbalance. Fan-booster stage blades began 
rubbing on the epoxy micro balloon shroud material; 
pulverized material then entered into the engine's 
HPC area, ignited and caused the compressor case to 
separate. A fire erupted in the right wing and no. 3 
engine pylon. The aircraft couldn't be stopped on the 
runway. The pilot-in-command steered the aircraft off 
the runway onto taxiway Z at a 40 knots speed. The main 
undercarriage collapsed and the aircraft came to rest 
against the shoulder of the taxiway. The successful 
evacuation may be partially attributed to the fact that 
nearly all passengers were trained crew members.
