United Airlines Plane Evacuated After Engine Fire During Houston Takeoff

Passengers and crew safely deplaned after flames erupted from the wing, prompting an investigation by the FAA.

United Airlines Flight 1382, bound for New York's LaGuardia Airport, aborted takeoff at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport due to an engine fire.
All 104 passengers and five crew members evacuated safely using emergency slides and stairs, with no injuries reported.
Videos captured by passengers showed flames and smoke coming from the wing, leading to panic and urgent calls to evacuate.
The Houston Fire Department confirmed the fire was extinguished before their arrival, and they assisted in deboarding passengers.
The FAA has launched an investigation into the incident, which follows two recent fatal aviation accidents in the U.S.
