United Airlines plane catches FIRE during take-off as terrified passengers scream ‘get us out’ before flight evacuated

THIS is the terrifying moment a United Airlines plane with over 100 passengers on board catches fire during takeoff.

Frantic footage from inside the Airbus A320 shows people panicking as flames emerge from one of the aircraft’s wings – sparking a huge evacuation.

Terrified passengers on the plane bound for New York were heard screaming “get us out” in the footage.

United Airlines Flight 1382 experienced an unexpected interruption on the runway at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, preventing it from taking off.

The flight had to abort its takeoff as a result of a “reported engine issue” around 8:30 am on Sunday, according to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The 104 passengers and five crew members were forced to flee onto the runway before being taken to safety to the terminal by bus, the FAA added.

No injuries were reported and the plane took off later in the day.

In one video, a flight attendant can be heard asking passengers to remain in their seats.

“No, it’s on fire,” another passenger can be heard yelling back.

Houston firefighters rushed to the airport and helped get passengers away from the burning aircraft.

They reportedly didn’t have to extinguish any flames by the time they arrived.

Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the incident.

Ashlyn Sharp, a passenger on the plane, recounted to FOX News that “[The crew] eventually directed us to use the emergency slide at the rear [of the aircraft] once they realized we were not going to remain seated much longer.”

“Then, we ended up stuck on the tarmac for about two and a half hours.

“Eventually, they brought a bunch of shuttles, ambulances, and police arrived.”

Complete timeline of mysterious Washington DC air disaster as fatal plane crash baffles experts

The Texas incident comes just days after two deadly accidents in Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. 

A collision between a commercial flight and a military helicopter in the nation’s capital claimed the lives of 67 people.

Hopes for survivors quickly faded as rescue crews worked through the night in dark, cold conditions.

After just a few hours the mission changed from a rescue to a recover operation with all passengers feared dead.

Officials confirmed there are no survivors – marking it the deadliest US air crash since November 2001.

Female co-pilot Rebecca Lobach, 28, tragically died in the midair collision alongside 66 others including two fellow soldiers and 64 passengers and crew on the jet.

The other two soldiers on the Black Hawk when it plunged into the icy river were identified earlier this week as Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Eaves, 39, and Staff Sergeant Ryan O’Hara, 28.

Meanwhile, an air ambulance crash in Philadelphia resulted in seven fatalities and 22 injuries.

The flight, per the FAA, was carrying six passengers and was headed to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri.

It crashed near a residential area and shopping mall.
