An American Airlines plane experienced an engine fire after landing at Denver International Airport on Thursday evening. The flight was en route from Colorado Springs to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport but was diverted to Denver due to engine vibrations. The Boeing 737-800 landed safely, but the engine caught fire as it was taxiing to the gate. Passengers evacuated using slides, and 12 people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries. Video footage shows the plane engulfed in smoke as passengers evacuate onto a wing, with crew members attempting to hose down the aircraft. American Airlines described the incident as an “engine-related issue” and stated that 172 passengers and six crew members were on board. The airline commended the crew, airport team, and first responders for their swift actions in ensuring the safety of everyone involved. The FAA will conduct an investigation into the incident.
