On April 10, 2010, an ACT Cargo Airbus A300B4 experienced an uncontained failure of its No. 2 CF6-50 engine while accelerating for takeoff at Bahrain International Airport, Manama, Bahrain. The crew declared an emergency, rejected the takeoff, activated the fire suppression system, and evacuated the airplane. No injuries were reported.
