Narrative:
On 14 March 2000, BAe (Avro) RJ85 OO-DJS was on a scheduled passenger flight from London City Airport to Brussels. Shortly after take off, the aircraft experienced high vibration and a fire in the No. 3 (inboard right) engine, due to failure of the aft (No. 2) bearing on the high pressure rotor shaft. An internal oil fire caused by overheating of the failed bearing caused a brazed joint on the No. 2 bearing oil scavenge tube to fail, allowing fire to spread to the engine nacelle.

The fire was successfully extinguished by the flight crew and the engine was shut down in flight. The aircraft landed safely on the remaining 3 engines with no injuries to passengers or crew.
