News Nearby: Spirit Airlines Engine Explodes on the Way to Atlanta Airport
A Spirit Airlines plane engine exploded after take-off, sending people into a panic.
We at Cascade Patch rarely cover the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, because it lies just outside our official coverage area, but this story must have been so scary for those involved, we had to share it. A Spirit Airlines plane engine exploded after take-off, sending people into a panic.
HLN reports one man even texted his wife saying the plane was on fire and he loved her. WGCL spoke with passengers on the flight, who described it as traumatic, and said the huge explosion then caused smoke to fill the cabin. “Good Morning America” reports no injuries were reported and the plane safely returned to Dallas where passengers boarded another plane and landed safely in Atlanta.
Take a look at the video and some of the harrowing accounts.
