New incident of a Boeing plane. A commercial plane saw one of its engines take fire to take off from the Los Angeles International Airport this Friday, July 18.
The left engine of the company Delta Airlines, a Boeing 767-400, caught fire while the plane was still taking altitude, said the BBC that interviewed an airport spokesman. In the direction of Atlanta, the plane was forced to go back and land on the Los Angeles track, a maneuver that was made without incident according to the British media.
“Everyone has remained very calm”
The incident was captured by Josh from the YouTube channel the flights. When gathering the plane’s enthusiasts, the chain broadcasts live, several times a week, take off and landing of airplanes from Lax, Los Angeles Airport.
That day, Josh immortalized the engagement of the engine and the return to the land of the plane in just a few minutes. In the images, you can see the city’s firefighters quickly accompany the plane.
In the comments of this video, some people claim to have been on the machine. “I was sitting in the central hall,” says Joëlle. “I have not seen smoke or fire, but some people did. We were very afraid during these ten minutes.” She says that “everyone has remained very calm”, even if some “panic in the back of them.”
BJ Harman said in the comments that his daughter and son were also on board.
An engine of a Delta Airlines plane, this time an Airbus, had already burned in Florida at the end of April. There had been an explosion before takeoff and passengers had to be evacuated by Teboggans.
