Possibly avionics. Once again, know nothing of the type, but that seems like A LOT of flame for an avionics fire. The engine detaching sort of reminds me of American Airlines 191 out of O’Hare. I think it was actually the same type of plane. That’s was maintenance malpractice. Inside the cockpit, however, some things went wrong, no real fault of the pilots given the circumstances, that could quite possibly be an issue here.

That was a lot of flame and it looks like they were already beyond V1. Knowing nothing about the type, it looks like they had some issues getting to Vr and still tried to rotate, likely due to a complete lack of any other option. The fire was obviously an issue, but I’m wondering what sucked away their takeoff power. It’s a tough thing to see.
