Terrifying moment Philippine Airlines plane spews flames and black smoke over LAX airport as engine failure forces emergency landing

    The Boeing 777 departed Los Angeles International Airport for Manila Thursday
    It was forced to turn back less than an hour later after a mechanical malfunction caused the right-side engine to catch fire
    Social media video showed the aircraft leaving a trail of black smoke behind it
    The ordeal caused a panic onboard but none of the 347 passengers were injured

You'll see, it was very much spitting out flames and smoking. Thank goodness, it sounds like they turned around to LAX and made a safe landing.

Classic signs of compressor stalls...interesting that they didn't shut it down since the aircraft is supposed to be able to fly on one engine.
