One of those situations where you don't realize what you are seeing until after the fact.
In my case, I saw a bunch of guys in the aircraft's exhaust stream suddenly start wiping their goggles. In that yellowish light blood and oil look kind of similar - me and others thought the motor in question blew an internal oil line.
Then the flightdeck's white lights came on and all aircraft shutdown.
Time for an all-hands FOD walkdown - DO NOT pick anything up!!
