United flight's engine catches fire after Denver takeoff, returns to airport safely
Fox News
A United Airlines flight experienced engine failure after taking off from Denver International Airport on Saturday but landed safely after dropping debris over northern Colorado, officals said.
Frightening video recorded from inside the plane showed the damaged engine on fire. "When it initially happened, I thought we were done. I thought we were going down," passenger David Delucia, who was traveling with his wife, told The Associated Press. After hearing an explosion and seeing a flash of light, Delucia said he quickly stuffed his wallet in his pocket, thinking it would help responders identify his body more easily if he did not survive, he told the AP.More Related News
