What is this molten metal coming from the engine of an Avro RJ 100? Yesterday I flew in an Swiss Avro RJ100. As soon as we landed I was shocked to see some sort of molten metal which was incandescent and glowing red dripping down from the vent as indicated in the picture. It was almost catching fire! I was suprised to see immediately the maintenance van pitch up to the plane when we didn't even get to a stop. Is this normal? 

This image isn't of the problem flight, but shows where the problem was.
I do not see anything in your photo, apart the engine that looks perfectly normal. 

Anyway
here it is written that the fuel burns at up to 2000 degrees Celsius and the temperature at which metals in this part of the engine start to melt is 1300 degrees Celsius. Hence the metal may melt if something goes wrong.

Avro RJ100 has four engines so should be able to land with one inoperative. From the question I have just asked myself, it will not be qualified as accident so may not get widely known.
