Passengers were evacuated via slides and stairs from a jetliner at Houston’s main airport on Sunday after an engine problem during takeoff caused smoke and fire on the right wing. United Airlines flight 1382 to New York City was halted while still on the runway shortly after 8:30 a.m. at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. There were no injuries and passengers were bused back to the terminal, the FAA said. The takeoff was stopped after the Airbus A319 ‘’received an indication about one engine,‘’ the statement said. KPRC-TV obtained a passenger’s video of orange flames and smoke spewing from the wing as it sped down the runway. A passenger can be heard saying, ‘’Please, please, get us out of here.‘’

An Airbus A319 , operated by United Airlines , was grounded on Sunday after a startling incident at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston. The aircraft was bound for New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA), but halted its takeoff and evacuated after the crew received an engine notification. Video from onboard depicts flames and smoke being emitted from the engine, but notably, fire officials later confirmed that a fire was “not put out.” The incident is the latest in a string of high-profile events that the aviation industry has grappled with in the past week.

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.
