A Boeing 747-400 with 468 people aboard was forced to make an emergency landing in Indonesia on Wednesday after one of its engines caught fire and began shooting out flames during takeoff....
Add: I made a more detailed recount of the scene I saw while talking to someone on the original thread:
A young, short soldier (played by someone who I’ve seen play lots of soldiers - think a male Michelle Rodriguez) volunteers to climb out of an entrenched position while people are shooting at the whole group, and walk casually, without any cover, away from the enemy and towards a place where explosives have been clustered. He is holding a giant CB radio and has it set to the frequency of the explosives’ trigger and just needs to get close enough for them to go off. Just speaking into the radio at that frequency will do it, so he’s yelling and cursing at the explosives to go off. He keeps getting hit on his extremities, but he doesn’t duck or cover, he just keeps slowly walking away from the firing. At the climax of the scene, he’s bleeding and limping and just yelling “Blow!” Into the radio. A bullet goes right through his chest and he falls to his knees. He screams “Blow!” one last time and the explosives go off.

Though the way the leaker describes it makes it sound more like a 3rd person MOBA than a hero shooter....
