A video has captured the frightening moment a Delta plane’s engine burst into flames shortly after takeoff on Friday at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The Boeing 767, carrying 226 passengers and 9 crew members, was headed to Atlanta when it encountered a problem with the left engine. Pilots made an emergency landing and turned around due to safety concerns.
The plane taxied to the gate safely without any signs of fire, allowing passengers to deplane normally. Firefighters inspected the aircraft as a precautionary measure. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the incident.
Despite the scare, Delta ensured that customers were reaccommodated on new aircraft for their final destinations.
