Delta Flight Evacuates Passengers After Engine Fire Incident

Passengers forced to escape Delta flight in Orlando as engine catches fire on tarmac.


A Delta Airlines flight faced a serious emergency at Orlando International Airport as passengers evacuated due to an engine fire, prompting a swift response from emergency services.



In a startling incident, passengers aboard Delta flight 1213 were evacuated after a fire broke out in one of the aircraft's engines while on the tarmac at Orlando International Airport, Florida. The flight, scheduled to take off for Atlanta, was carrying over 200 individuals, including flight crew.

Social media footage captured the alarming scene, showing flames and smoke belching from the right engine of the Airbus A330 as passengers slid down inflatable emergency chutes to safety. Fortunately, initial reports indicate that there were no injuries among the passengers or crew during this alarming event.

The airport's social media updates confirmed that the Aircraft Rescue & Fire Fighting team promptly responded to the fire, ensuring all passengers were safely evacuated. Delta Airlines, in a statement relayed to CBS News, acknowledged the situation's seriousness, stating that the cabin was evacuated immediately after flames were detected in one of the plane's two main engines.

As passengers waited for assistance on the tarmac, emergency vehicles were seen stationed alongside the aircraft, prepared for any further action if necessary. Delta expressed its gratitude for the cooperation shown by its customers during the emergency and apologized for the distressing experience. The airline assured the public that safety remains its top priority and that their teams are committed to getting passengers to their final destinations as soon as possible.

In the aftermath of the incident, the Federal Aviation Administration has announced plans to conduct an investigation into the cause of the engine fire. This event raises significant concerns regarding airline safety and aircraft maintenance, further emphasizing the aviation industry's commitment to maintaining high safety standards.

With this incident occurring in a region famously known as the home of Disneyworld, it remains vital for all stakeholders in the aviation sector to evaluate and reinforce safety measures to prevent such occurrences in the future.
