Published
Dramatic new video has surfaced displaying the harrowing second a Delta Air Lines jet’s engine burst into flames simply seconds after takeoff.
Captured by L.A. FLIGHTS, the footage reveals fireplace taking pictures from the plane’s left engine because it ascended into the sky from Los Angeles International Airport, making a terrifying spectacle for these watching beneath.
The incident occurred Friday aboard Delta Flight 446, a Boeing 767 headed to Atlanta with 226 passengers and 9 crew members. The pilots rapidly responded to the emergency, circling again to LAX and safely touchdown the aircraft.
By the time the plane reached the gate, the flames had subsided. No accidents have been reported. Delta says it is investigating the reason for the engine malfunction.
