A Southwest Airlines plane flying from Houston, USA, to Cancun, Mexico, caught fire in the air.
About 30 minutes after takeoff, one of the plane’s engines burst into flames, forcing the pilots to make an emergency landing at Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport.
Videos taken by passengers show flames coming from one of its engines.
The incident involving the Boeing 737 took place on Tuesday, August 15.
The Dallas-based airline said the plane suffered a “mechanical problem” shortly after takeoff.
It landed safely and is undergoing repairs, while the company has clarified that another plane took the passengers to Cancun.
