On Monday, a Delta Air Lines flight at Orlando International Airport experienced an engine fire shortly after departing the gate for Atlanta. The Airbus A330, carrying 282 passengers and 12 crew members, faced a fire in the tailpipe of one engine. Emergency procedures were promptly enacted, leading to a safe evacuation of all onboard. Eyewitness footage showed the fire and response efforts, while the FAA has initiated an investigation into the incident. Delta expressed gratitude for the cooperation of passengers during the inconvenience and committed to ensuring their safe travel.
An eyewitness at the airport, Dylan Wallace, captured several video clips of the fire and aftermath, showing fire emerging from the right side engine.
Delta flight crews followed procedures to evacuate the passenger cabin when flames in the tailpipe of one of the aircraft's two engines were observed, the airline said in a statement.
