Riporto quanto letto adesso sul sito di Repubblica:

"Un aereo di linea della compagnia di bandiera israliana El-Al e' stato costretto a un atterraggio d'emergenza all'aeroporto di Heathrow. Venti minuti dopo il decollo dallo scalo londinese, con destinazione Tel Aviv, un motore dell'aereo ha preso fuoco. A bordo c'erano 411 persone. Improvvisamente, spiega il quotidiano israeliano Haaretz, e' stato avvertito un forte rumore, simile a un'esplosione, proveniente dal lato destro del velivolo, che ha cominciato a perdere potenza. I piloti hanno quindi deciso di tornare indietro e nell'aeroporto sono state allertate le squadre di soccorso per far fronte alla manovra di emergenza ."

JERUSALEM, July 5 (Xinhua) -- An El Al Israel Airlines flight from London to Tel Aviv made an emergency landing at Heathrow Airport soon after takeoff early Thursday as an engine caught fire, according to local media.
El Al officials said travelers on Flight 318, with 411 passengers on board, heard a loud noise on the plane's starboard side, soon after takeoff at about 1:00 a.m. Israel time.
The Boeing 747-400 then lost speed and passengers reported a strong smell and saw flames coming out of one of the engines, according to the Haaretz daily.
Captain Ilan Margalit dumped the aircraft's fuel, and returned to safe landing using the three remaining engines, according to the report.
"There was no danger to passengers or to the aircraft at any stage of the incident," El Al said in a statement, according to Army radio.
El Al authorities said they were working to get all of the passengers onto alternate flights to Israel within 24 hours.

An El Al Boeing 747-400, registration 4X-ELD performing flight LY-318 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Tel Aviv (Israel) with 411 people on board, was climbing through FL260 out of London when the #4 engine (PW4056, outboard right hand) lost power and cabin crew observed streaks of flames out of the engine. The flight crew shut the engine down, no fire indication was observed and fire suppression systems were not activated, and returned to London for a safe landing on runway 27R about 20 minutes later.

The flight was cancelled, a replacement flight is estimated to depart Jul 5th.
 
credo che i 20 anni di età siano una buona vita media per un aereo, el al ha molti 747 di 18 anni, considerando che se ordina adesso deve aspettare almeno 2 anni a secondo me è ora che inizi a pensare cosa fare. Attualmente, correggetemi se sbaglio, ha in ordine 2 787 e alcuni 739.
