A United Airlines flight was evacuated after an aborted takeoff when passengers noticed a wing was on fire.
The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has said the cause of the fire was a reported "engine malfunction," per Fox 26.
Footage obtained from inside of the plane shows the cabin crew asking people to sit back down, and someone responding: "No, it's on fire."
United Airlines has been contacted for comment.
Why It Matters
This fire came four days after the deadliest domestic plane crash in almost 20 years, when 67 people died after a passenger plane collided with an Army helicopter in D.C., and, two days after a medical plane crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood, killing six people, and injuring 19.
Separately, within its first two weeks in office the Trump administration has offered buyouts to air traffic control workers in an industry that is already short-staffed, and Elon Musk demanded the resignation of FAA head, Michael Whitaker.
