Check out the clip … the plane’s just starting its ascent when fire blasts from the right wing of the plane — and, one of the guys on the ground yells out that they’ve got an engine fire. Unclear if that’s actually what occurred, but it certainly looks like it from the vid.
Air Canada made a statement to a local Toronto outlet, confirming the incident and saying the plane immediately landed, was checked out by airport response vehicles, and headed back to the gate. The passengers were switched to a different craft.
Nearly 400 passengers were on the flight … as far as we know, no injuries have been reported.
