Navy CH-46 on fire after aft engine burst

What happens in this video ?

A Navy CH-46 Sea Knight's aft engine bursts into flames on takeoff filling fuselage with flames and smoke. The video is taken from inside the chopper.
A leaking transmission line was spraying fluid into the aft generator causing the fire. The accident happened in September 1998 aboard the amphibious assault ship Bonhomme Richard.

The Marines won't have to fly those old relic "frogs" for much longer, now that the V-22 Osprey has entered service.
