Following the engine at the main airport of Houston, the flames appeared on the wing of the United Airlines, resulting in passengers drained through slides and stairs.
According to the Federal Airlines Airlines (FAA), the 2003 flight of 2003 was due to fly to New York City just after 8am on Sunday.
FAA added: The crew “was safely aborted at Texas Airport” because of the “reported motor issue” at around 8.35 am.
Passengers left Airbus A319 at the runway and re -boarded the terminal.
The flight had 104 passengers and five crew members on the board to board their flight to Laguardia Airport in New York.
“Passengers were destroyed by a combination of slides and stairs in the runway and went to the terminal,” United Airlines said in a statement.
“We lined up a different plane to move customers to our destination at 2pm CT.”
The Houston Fire Department (HFD) wrote in X (formerly Twitter) that it was at the airport, which helped evacuate the aircraft, adding that no injuries had been reported.
Video videos recorded by passengers show the smoke emitted from the plane and the flames that result from one of the wings.
In a clip, a flight participant is heard that “Please sit down” that a passenger responds to “no, this is on fire.”
“Please, please, please leave us out of here.”
HFD later added that although it was on the scene, “it did not fire the fire” and said it was aware of the video, but “when our units arrived, there was no fire to come out.”
Roslyn Tenpow said Abc7 That he immediately thought of his loved ones when the incident began.
“My kids, my family. I just returned from Guyana to my mother.”
“When another aircraft was ready to take the evacuated passengers to New York, he was nervous to get on,” he said.
“I was the last person to get on the plane,” he said.
Concerns about air safety have increased since the collision of an American airline travel jet with an army helicopter near Washington DC, while all 67 passengers and dead crew have been assumed.
The fatal incident occurred on Wednesday evening along the coast of the Potomak River near Reagan National Airport, which for about 25 years became the most deadly air disaster in the United States.
FAA said it would investigate the United Airlines in Houston.
