Passengers post harrowing videos of fiery engine surge as plane returns safely to LAX
Above, a video posted by a passenger on a Philippine Airlines flight that headed out of LAX and then headed right back in again.
KTLA reports:
Read the restPassengers and people on the ground videotaped repeated blasts of flame coming from the right engine of the Boeing 777 minutes after takeoff.
I could see, like, flashes of light. I thought it was ... just from the sunlight and then I just started hearing, like boom, boom, boom, passenger Walter Baumann told KABC-TV. And then I look out of the window and these balls of fire are just shooting out of the engine.
Andrew Ames was a passenger in a car speeding down a freeway near the airport when he got a video of the plane.
