An American Airlines plane, freshly arrived from Colorado Springs, was engulfed in flames at Denver International Airport, causing a moment of panic among the passengers of flight 4012. The incident forced an emergency evacuation to ensure the safety of everyone on board.
Shocking images captured by witnesses showed passengers descending from the wings of the aircraft while emergency teams worked hard to control the fire at Terminal C of the airport. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, although some passengers received medical attention for smoke inhalation and anxiety.
Airport authorities launched a thorough investigation to determine the causes of the fire, which have not yet been clarified. Despite the magnitude of the incident, scheduled flights at the airport were not significantly affected, although security and cleaning measures were implemented in the affected area.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Denver International Airport are closely collaborating with American Airlines to clarify the circumstances that led to the fire. It is expected that in the coming hours, investigators will work to precisely determine the exact cause of the incident and take necessary measures to prevent future mishaps.
