A United States flight from Houston to New York had to be evacuated after it caught on fire during takeoff.
On Sunday, United Airlines Flight 1382, an Airbus A320, was evacuated at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, Texas, after an engine fire forced the crew to abort takeoff.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the plane was evacuated due to a “reported engine issue” just after 8:30 a.m.
Some passengers had to evacuate using emergency slides, while others exited through the jet bridge, according to the Houston Fire Department.
Video footage taken by passengers shows them standing on the tarmac as emergency crews responded.
