Boeing on fire: a engine problem causing Denver’s fire? The images

A Boeing 737-800 caught fire in Denver after its landing, forcing the evacuation of the 172 passengers and 6 crew members.

Fortunately, there was no victim. The 172 passengers of a Boeing plane were landed in disaster after the device caught fire after landing in Denver, Colorado, the United States. The impressive images show smoke wrap the airliner while the passengers await the emergency services on one of the wings. In question: one of the engines.

The flight was normally linked Colorado Springs to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. It was confused to Denver after the crew of the Boeing 737-800 noticed vibrations at one of the engines, said American Airlines and the American aviation regulator (Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA). The airline said that the plane had landed safely, and its engine would only have caught fire at the start.

An investigation will be conducted by the FAA

“The 172 passengers and the six crew members landed and are being transferred to the terminal,” American Airlines said in a statement. The FAA said that passengers landed the wings of the plane via inflatable slides. If there were no victims, twelve people were still transported to hospital for minor injuries.

An investigation will be carried out by the FAA to determine the causes of the incident. Flights were able to resume at Denver airport once the fire was turned off.

Boeing has been chaining problems on his 737 aircraft for several years, notably with a door torn in full in January 2025. Problems that could well become widespread in the United States, while Donald Trump wishes to reduce the costs of government agencies in the airline sector. Last January, an airliner collided with a military helicopter in Washington.
