Southwest Airlines Flight Returns After Engine Fire Scare

A Southwest Airlines plane, which was flying this Thursday to the Mexican town of Cancun, had to return to the airport of origin, in Houston (USA), just 30 minutes after takeoff after one of its engines caught fire.

Several passengers were able to watch through the windows as one of its engines caught fire, causing panic in the passengers.

The striking images show the flares coming out from under one of the wings.

The device was able to land safely to start the repairs, while the passenger was relocated on another flight to Mexico, to finally start their vacations.
