A passenger reported a loud bang from the right hand side occurred just as the aircraft rotated for takeoff, the aircraft continued to climb, two more bangs occurred during the climb. The captain indicated an engine problem but rather ruled out a bird strike.
A ground observer reported the aircraft was just rotating for takeoff when a first loud bang occurred and the right hand engine emitted a streak of flame. The aircraft climbed out straight followed by several more bangs and streaks of flame, then received vectors for a return to Copenhagen. ATC kept the runways sterile and sent other arriving traffic into holds until the aircraft had safely landed.
