Man heard “explosion” after video spark from American Airlines Airplane engine – NBC 6 Südflorida was displayed

After hearing an explosion, a man speaks when spark was seen by an American aircraft aircraft engine before landing Miami on Friday at Miami International Airport.

Light flashes showed video material near one of the aircraft engines because it was in the sky near the airport.

Jake Fletcher said he was on the farm of his building North Miami and was sitting on the sea walls when he let his dog out when he suddenly heard a loud explosion.

“And I looked up and I saw an airplane and I saw a fire from one of the turbines,” he said. “So I started to record, pack my cell phone and, you know, the video doesn't really do it justice.”

The video seemed to show Sparks that came from the engine of an aircraft before it ended up at Miami International Airport on Friday.

American Airlines flight 1603 started shortly after 10:30 a.m.

A little later, around 11:00 a.m., Fletcher heard the boom.

Shortly afterwards, the Viewer video shows Miami-Dade Fire Rescue around 11:50 a.m. and reacts to the asphalt to a “dangerous situation with an airplane”.

“It was pretty, you know, said the least, you know, and I was happy and glad that the plane certainly did it back,” said Fletcher.

NBC6 pursued the path of the aircraft of flightsware.

The plane went over the Everglades in circles and never got more than 7,500 feet in the air before returning to Mia.

According to the flight stitch, it was in the air for almost 50 minutes.

NBC6 spoke to Jay Rollins, a former pilot of American Airlines, who is now a professor at Florida Memorial University.

“If it were only an engine problem, they would probably have simply closed it and landed as soon as possible,” said Rollins. “So the holding and the curves and all this delay in the approach is probably due to the fact that something was going on in the cabin or in the cockpit.”

In a statement, a spokesman for American Airlines NBC6 said: “The flight in 1603 by American Airlines with the service of Miami (Mia) to Guatemala City (GUA) returned to Mia due to a possible maintenance problem. The aircraft landed safely and without incident in Mia.”

The airline also said when the inspection initially had no indication of fire or smoke.

“I would respond to this statement by saying that it sounds like what I would expect from them, but I mean, I saw what I saw and you can see it on the video.

The incident on Friday comes only one day after another flight of the American Airlines was forced to land in Denver after this plane caught fire.

Some passengers had to evacuate on the wing of the aircraft.

No serious injuries were reported in this incident either.
