A Boeing 747 cargo plane made an emergency landing Thursday night after it was
seen spewing flames in the night sky over Miami.

The Federal Aviation Administration, which is already investigating Boeing after
an Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing when a door
plug fell off the fuselage midair this month, said in a statement Friday that it
will look into the latest incident on an Atlas Air flight.




Atlas Air said in a statement Friday that one of its planes landed safely after
an unspecified problem with one or more of its engines shortly after takeoff.

Cellphone video uploaded to Instagram by a Miami resident late Thursday shows a
plane fly across the sky with what appears to be a trail of fire behind it.

"Oh, my God, it's on fire! Oh, my God," the person filming the clip is heard
saying as the plane leaves a line of bright yellow and red in its wake.

"We can confirm that Flight 5Y095 has landed safely after experiencing an engine
malfunction soon after departure from Miami International Airport (MIA)," the
airline's statement said.



"The crew followed all standard procedures and safely returned to MIA. At Atlas,
safety is always our top priority and we will be conducting a thorough
inspection to determine the cause."

The plane, which was headed to Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport in Puerto
Rico, took off at 10:22 p.m. ET Thursday. It returned to Miami at 10:30 p.m.,
the FAA said.

The incident in Miami is the latest in a history of issues involving Boeing. The
news comes two weeks after the Alaska Airlines flight incident, which prompted
the FAA to ground Boeing 737 Max 9 planes across the U.S. That move thrust the
nation's air travel into chaos and caused numerous flight cancellations.

Boeing declined to comment on the latest incident, instead directing media
queries to Atlas Air.
