Houston: A United Airlines flight bound for New York was evacuated Sunday morning after catching fire during takeoff, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The FAA reported that United Airlines Flight 1382 had to abort its takeoff from George Bush Intercontinental Airport due to a “reported engine issue” around 8:35 am.

A video obtained by FOX 26 Houston shows flames visible on the plane’s wing. In the footage, a flight attendant can be heard instructing passengers to remain seated, while one traveller exclaims, “No, it’s on fire!” Passengers evacuated using stairs and the emergency slide, according to the Houston Fire Department. A video from the scene shows a group of fliers standing on the tarmac.
