From Fox News: A Delta Air Lines flight experienced an apparent engine fire shortly after departing from California earlier this week.
On Friday, July 18, Delta flight 446 took off from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) but was forced to return and make a safe landing at approximately 2:10 p.m. local time, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Video published by YouTube channel L.A. Flights shows visible flames coming from the plane’s left engine soon after takeoff.
In the recording, Josh, one of the channel’s co-owners, can be heard expressing concern over the fire.
The Boeing 767-400 plane had just taken off from LAX and was headed to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). Just after takeoff, the pilots received a warning related to the left engine, and returned to LAX.
According to a statement from Delta, there were two pilots, seven flight attendants, and 226 passengers aboard the plane.
The fire in the engine appeared to have gone out by itself by the time the plane landed by at LAX, and everyone aboard was able to exit the plane normally.
The passengers were later transferred to a different plane to resume their journey.
