A Spirit Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency
landing on Tuesday after an engine exploded and flames engulfed one side of the
plane.
Passengers reported that the Airbus A319 was shaking for
several minutes before they heard a loud bang and flames lit up one side of the
aircraft.
The Spirit airline Flight 165 was going from Dallas to
Atlanta when it suffered a mechanical failure about 20 minutes into the
two-hour journey.
Frightened passengers began to call their families leaving
final messages after the engine exploded.
Thick smoke began to pour into the cabin vents, making it
difficult for the panicked passengers to see.
There were 145 passengers on board the Airbus A319 at the
time of the emergency.
Fred Edwards who was on a business trip, said he feared the
worst and immediately texted his wife and children: 'We're on fire, love you.'
