Here’s more from Reuters:
An Atlas Air Boeing 747-8 (BA.N), cargo plane made an emergency landing in Miami late Thursday shortly after departure after suffering an engine fire.
The plane with five crew members safely returned and no injuries were reported.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating. The FAA said a post-flight inspection showed a softball-size hole above the engine, while the NTSB said it “has opened an investigation and is collecting information to evaluate and determine scope of the investigation.”
Unverified videos on social media platform X showed flames shooting out of the left wing of the aircraft while in flight.
“The crew followed all standard procedures and safely returned to (Miami International),” the air freight company said, adding that it would conduct an inspection to find the cause.
Boeing said it is supporting Atlas and “will support the NTSB investigation into this incident.”
The Atlas Boeing 747-8 is eight years old, according to the FAA and is powered by four General Electric (GE.N), GEnx engines.
