A passenger took video of outside her window as an American Airlines plane caught fire on the Charlotte-Douglas Airport runway.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Passengers on a flight about to take off in North Carolina had a scary view outside their windows as flames shot out from the plane’s wing.
Leggington was waiting for her flight, American Airlines flight 2288 to Dallas-Fort Worth, to take off on the runway at the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport when she heard that sound. Leggington said the scary sound turned into a frightening sight as flames and smoke came out of the wing of the plane.“Nobody knows what’s happening, so it’s the first instinct is the plane is going to blow,” Leggington said. “So, everyone is grabbing their bags, trying to run up and run in the aisle.”
“Everyone was trying to panic, but it was like we couldn’t go anywhere,” another passenger, Claire Dundon, said. “That was the biggest scare.”
