An investigation is currently taking place by the FAA.<\/p>\n<p>Before landing, the pilot had informed air traffic controllers in Denver about the engine issues, clarifying that it wasn&#8217;t an emergency, as noted in audio from LiveATC.net. The controller asked, &#8220;10006, just to confirm, not an emergency still, right?&#8221; The pilot responded, &#8220;Ah, just have high engine, so we are cruising slower than usual.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Things took a turn just a few minutes later after the aircraft had landed, as someone on the radio urgently exclaimed, &#8220;Day, day, day!

Photos from the scene show many passengers exiting the aircraft and standing on the wing while smoke filled the area. The Denver Fire Department reported that twelve passengers were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement, American Airlines thanked their crew members, the Denver team, and first responders for their quick and effective actions, emphasizing the safety of everyone onboard and on the ground. They are sending a replacement aircraft and crew to Denver to help passengers continue their journey to Dallas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/247newsaroundtheworld.com\/celeb-gist\/tiger-woods-and-vanessa-trumps-secret-romance\/\">Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump\u2019s Secret Romance<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American Airlines Plane Catches Fire at Denver airport Prompting the Evacuation of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8164882,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"yes","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_619370954368694_104174242459269":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17602],"tags":[94485,94484],"class_list":{"0":"post-8164881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-american-airlines-incident","9":"tag-plane-fire-at-denver-airport"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Plane Fire at Denver Airport, American Airlines Incident - 247 News Around The World<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"American Airlines Plane Catches Fire at Denver airport Prompting the Evacuation of passengers.
