 Passengers on Houston to New York United Airlines flight evacuated after plane catches fire on runway

United Airlines flight from Houston to New York had to be evacuated Sunday morning after the airplane caught on fire during takeoff.

Terrified passengers could be heard panicking in footage obtained by Fox 26. Flames burst out of one of the airplane’s wings as the aircraft began to roll forward for take off.

United Airlines Flight 1382, an Airbus A320, aborted its takeoff from the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, due to a “reported engine issue” just after 8:30 a.m., the FAA said in a statement.

Passengers fled to the runway and were taken by the terminal by bus, the FAA added.

Houston firefighters helped passengers evacuate, the agency wrote on X. No injuries were reported.

The thought did cross my mind, but what would be the purpose of intentional mishaps??

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
