A military chartered performed an emergency landing after an in-flight engine shut down, shortly after departing from Honolulu.

An Atlas Air Boeing 767-300 with 212 people on board performing flight from Honolulu to Guam suffered a right hand engine failure during the initial climb out of Honolulu.

As a consequence of repeated compressor stalls/surges, the engine emitted bangs and streaks of flames, forcing the crew to declare an emergency.
