Internet Desk: Once again, a Boeing aircraft has stirred headlines. This time, the United Airlines flight UA1118 departed from Houston International Airport to Fort Myers at 7 pm on Wednesday. After 15 minutes of takeoff, a substantial fire broke out in the engine under the left wing, prompting an immediate emergency landing in Texas. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.

A passenger recorded a video capturing the entire episode and shared it, providing an explanation of the events. Upon detecting the fire in the engine, one of the staff members promptly informed the passengers. Shortly after takeoff, a loud bang was heard, and the engine on the side where the passenger was seated caught fire. Rachel Meledze Masseson, a passenger, expressed, "It scared me."

United Airlines issued a response to the incident, stating, "Upon noticing the fire, the aircraft returned to Houston airport and executed a safe landing." The airline ensured that alternate arrangements were made for the passengers, who were promptly transported to their respective destinations. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), based in the United States, has initiated an investigation into the incident.

In recent times, Boeing aircraft have faced frequent issues. In January, an Alaska Airlines aircraft experienced a blown door plug, and subsequently, loose bolts were discovered in United Airlines' planes. Notably, there was also an engine fire incident in a plane owned by the same company.
