Yep, thats not a happy engine 
Could be a bird strike, such as in this video:
Or just a random engine failure…

Back in the good ol’ days I arrived after a transatlantic on one remaining of four engines. One did that on take off. One mid flight. One on landing flare.
People are so hyper now.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress

I gotta post this again – April 1968, Eastern Airlines, JFK. Unfortunately I don’t remember this, as I was only 14 months old

Glad everyone is okay. Always remember these safety tips:
- Buckle seat belts and return tray tables and chairs to upright positions.
- Assume crash positions.
- Turn your phone on it’s side while filming (can’t see much in spy pencil camera mode!)
