by A FEDEX freight aircraft burned on fire after having hit New Jersey on Saturday morning shortly after the Airplane’s departure.
No injuries were reported on board and the plane returned to the Newark Liberty International Airport.
The Boeing 767 in question met the bird during the start and damaged an engine.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement that the plane that drove to Indianapolis had returned to the airport around 8 a.m.
A spokesman informed the Associated Press that air traffic was stopped briefly as a precaution, but the operations were resumed shortly later.
About 10 minutes after the start, the right engine of the FEDEX aircraft broke up in flames, according to flightsware. Spectators caught the incident from several perspectives, in one case screamed from shock and curse when the plane returned to the runway.
“Age, did you see that?!” A man called out in a video where the flaming aircraft drops. “Something exploded!”
Another video made from a car in New Jersey shows the plane on fire because it loses the height.
The emergency return on Saturday was followed by a number of recent aviations that have taken care of the public. On January 30, an Airlines plane collided with a helicopter from the US Army over the Potomac River in Washington DC and killed all 67 people on board both aircraft.
The Washington collision was the most fatal catastrophe of the US air trip since 2009 when a Colgan aircraft collapsed near Buffalo, New York and killed all 49 people on board and one person on the ground.
Two days after the crash in Washington, seven people were killed after a medical transport aircraft collided in a quarter in northeast of Philadelphia. In the meantime, an aircraft with 80 people crashed at Toronto Pearson Airport in mid -February to turn upside down and to be injured at least 18 people.
In the middle of increasing concerns, Google has increased after “flying safely”. An AP-NORC survey recently published in February showed that 64% of Americans consider air travel to be very or somewhat safe, compared to 71% in the previous year.
Donald Trump’s second presidential administration continued to escalate the tensions by starting in mid -February to relieve hundreds of employees of the Federal Aviation Administration, including some who maintain a critical infrastructure of the air traffic control.
Nevertheless, data show that 2025 was a relatively safe year for the flight – at least in terms of overall accidents. According to the National Transportation Safety Board, January and February usually see around 20 fatal aviation accidents per month, most of which usually include small planes that work in a less regulated room.
