During take off, the port outer engine cut out as the aircraft picked up speed on the runway, a swing developed and the undercarriage collapsed. Upon coming to a halt near the northern intersection of the runways the damaged aircraft then caught fire. With the full bomb load being in the aircraft the crew ran clear. Soon afterwards a massive explosion occurred scattering bits of the aircraft over a very wide area.
