Delta’s Boeing 767 engine in flames mid-air, makes emergency landing in LA

A Delta Airlines Boeing 767, bound for Atlanta, experienced an engine fire shortly after taking off from the Los Angeles airport on Friday. The flight was compelled to execute an emergency landing back in Los Angeles, where the fire was successfully extinguished on the runway. All passengers and crew on board are reported to be safe. The U.S. Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) has initiated an investigation into the incident. This event adds to the ongoing scrutiny of Boeing aircraft. As noted in the report, “this incident has sparked another kind of a debate that what kind of problems are there with the aircraft or the engine or it is a maintenance issue.”
