A passenger on board a United Airlines flight from Houston to New York captured wild video of the wing of the plane catching on fire during takeoff Sunday morning. 

Passengers and crew on United Airlines Flight 1382 were evacuated off the plane at George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport due to a “reported engine issue,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed in a statement to Fox News Digital.

United Airlines also confirmed the incident and issued a statement saying that just after 8:30 a.m., on Sunday, Feb. 2, the crew of United Airlines Flight 1382 safely aborted its takeoff from the George Bush Intercontinental/Houston Airport in Texas due to a reported “engine issue.”

A passenger on board the flight shared a video, obtained by FOX 26, of the chaos that happened inside the plane after seeing fire on the wing from a window.

Officials said there were no injuries and all passengers were moved to another plane to continue to their destination.
