An American Airlines plane was forced to make an emergency landing after it caught fire mid flight.
The jet, destined for Charlotte, North Carolina, had just taken off from Las Vegas' Harry Reid International Airport on Wednesday morning when fire started coming out of one of the engines.
Pilots onboard the plane, which was carrying 153 passengers and six crew, had to quickly divert course back to the airport after passengers spotted the flames.
Footage has since emerged on social media showing the jet with a trail of black smoke following it, fire can be seen spurting out of the side of the engine.
Shortly after, the aircraft was returned to the airport, where an inspection was carried out. Nobody onboard was injured, officials said.
