Last month's deadly Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash remains very vivid in the public's memory, especially after dramatic footage went viral on X. Those fears were reignited Saturday when a Delta Air Lines Boeing 767's engine caught fire during takeoff from Los Angeles International Airport.

"The Boeing 767 engine caught fire shortly after takeoff around 2 p.m. Video from the ground captured the flames coming out from one of the engines. The flight landed safely after returning to the LAX runway," aviation watcher account Breaking Aviation News & Videos wrote on X. 

Data from the aviation tracking website Flightradar24 shows the aircraft was a 24-year-old Boeing 767-432 (ER). 

Flightradar24 shows DAL446 initiated an emergency return to LAX and landed safely minutes later. 

Delta told local media outlet ABC 7 that Flight DAL446 had 226 passengers and nine crew members on board and was en route to Atlanta. The airline said a mid-air incident occurred involving the left engine.

No details have been released on whether the incident was caused by a bird strike or a mechanical issue.
