The plot thickens...

And, it could potentially affect all 747's in service.

From Avweb on 07/21/08:

The crew survived the July 7 crash of a Kalitta Air Boeing 747-200 cargo jet that lost power shortly after takeoff in Bogota, but the aircraft was burned and two on the ground were killed. It was the second 747 crash for Kalitta in six weeks, the previous on took place in Brussels, May 25. Now rumors have emerged that the crew of the Bogota flight said the aircraft lost power of the outboard starboard engine after rotation, followed by failure of the outboard port engine as the crew was preparing to follow standard procedures for single-engine failure during takeoff. Loss of an engine during takeoff is central to the Brussels investigation.
