A Polar Air Cargo Boeing 777-200 freighter, registration N714SA performing flight PO-752 from Tokyo Narita (Japan) to Los Angeles,CA (USA) with 4 crew, was climbing out of Tokyo's runway 34L when the right hand engine (GE90) appeared to be on fire. The crew stopped the climb at 4000 feet, after working the checklists entered a hold to dump fuel and returned to Tokyo for a safe landing on runway 34L about 70 minutes after departure. The aircraft vacated the runway and stopped clear of the runway for checks by emergency services and was subsequently towed to the apron. The right hand engine showed damage.

Japan's Ministry of Transport reported the crew declared emergency immediately after takeoff because it appeared an engine was on fire.

After landing damage to internal parts of the engine as well as holes in the engine case were found. The occurrence was rated a serious incident and is being investigated.
