A United Airlines flight from Houston en route to New York was evacuated on Sunday morning (local time) after it caught fire during takeoff, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This happened days after two fatal accidents in the United States.
United Airlines Flight 1382 had to abort its takeoff from George Bush’s intercontinental airport due to a “motor problem reported” around 8:35 am on Sunday, according to FAA. The videos showed the wing of United Airlines in flames.
In the video, you could listen to a flight attendant asking the passengers to stay in their seats. “No, it’s on fire!” You can listen to one of the passengers say.
