An engine compressor stall (which is more common at low altitude and high thrust) can cause fire to come from the engine.

For me the hidden video starts (hidden) when I open the page, so when I click 'Watch the video' it's already part way through.

New comment by ahjones in "Data Structures for Coding Interviews"

ahjones — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 08:12:58 +0000

I think you're being a little bit unfair. The same block then continues:

  This is called an integer overflow. At best, we might just get an error. At worst, our computer might compute the correct answer but then just throw out the 9th bit, giving us zero (0000 0000) instead of 257 (1 0000 0000)! (Python actually notices that the result won't fit and automatically allocates more bits to store the larger number.)

The article is introducing the concept of integer overflow.
