At least four people were injured Friday morning after a Minneapolis-bound Delta Airlines flight aborted its takeoff at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, airport officials said.
Approximately 200 passengers evacuated the plane through emergency slides and some were seen running through the snow and away from the aircraft, according to the airline and a video obtained by CBS affiliate WANF. The plane had experienced an engine problem, Delta spokesperson Morgan Durrant said.
The incident happened while a snowstorm was causing widespread cancellations and delays in Atlanta, the world's busiest airport. But officials can't say if the problem had anything to do with the weather.
