Dramatic new video has surfaced showing the harrowing moment a Delta Air Lines jet’s engine burst into flames just seconds after takeoff.
Captured by L.A. FLIGHTS, the footage reveals fire shooting from the aircraft’s left engine as it ascended into the sky from Los Angeles International Airport, creating a terrifying spectacle for those watching below.
The incident occurred Friday aboard Delta Flight 446, a Boeing 767 headed to Atlanta with 226 passengers and 9 crew members. The pilots quickly responded to the emergency, circling back to LAX and safely landing the plane.
By the time the aircraft reached the gate, the flames had subsided. No injuries were reported. Delta says it’s investigating the cause of the engine malfunction.
