Boeing on Fire

video on social media shows flames apparently coming from a Boeing plane shortly after takeoff.

The brief clip, captured by someone on the ground, shows flames trailing an Atlas Air flight minutes after it took off from Miami International Airport on Thursday night.

The aircraft, a Boeing 747-8, took off from the Miami airport at 10:32 p.m. ET and had been heading to Puerto Rico when it was diverted, according to FlightAware.

Officials said the cargo flight landed safely at Miami airport just after 10:30 p.m. after engine failure.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will investigate the incident.

"Atlas Air Flight 95 returned safely to Miami International Airport around 10:30 p.m. local time on Thursday, Jan. 18, after the crew reported an engine failure," a spokesperson for the FAA told Newsweek.
