A DHL International Aviation Boeing 767-300, registration A9C-DHAA performing flight ES-722 from Hong Kong (China) to Bahrain (Bahrain), was accelerating for takeoff from Hong Kong's runway 07R when the crew rejected takeoff at low speed after one of the engines (CF6) failed and distributed a number of turbine blades onto the runway. The aircraft vacated the runway about 1450 meters/4800 feet down the runway and returned to the apron.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Hong Kong about 17 hours after the rejected takeoff.
