A Cargolux Boeing 747-400 freighter, registration LX-MCL performing flight CV-6497 from Novosibirsk (Russia) to Luxembourg (Luxembourg), was accelerating for takeoff from Novosibirsk's runway 25 when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed due to the failure of the outboard right hand engine. The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Novosibirsk about 36 hours after the rejected takeoff.
