Read the full NTSB narrative
The multi-engine turbofan airplane was substantially damaged when the left engine experienced an uncontained fire during engine start. After being alerted to the fire by ground crewmembers, the flight crew shut down both engines and egressed the airplane. At the time of engine start, the airplane was subject to gusting crosswinds up to 24 knots. The aircraft flight manual specified a maximum allowable crosswind component of 19 knots during ground starts. The accident is consistent with a disruption of airflow through the engine due to the crosswind, which resulted in an engine fire.
