Passengers were evacuated from an American Airlines flight after the plane caught fire at Denver International Airport on Thursday.

Footage shows smoke billowing from the aircraft and passengers standing on the plane’s wing.

There were no reports of serious injuries, although the airport later confirmed 12 people were taken to hospital for minor injuries.

The flight took off from nearby Colorado Springs and was on the way to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Texas, the FAA said in a statement to the BBC.

The plane diverted to Denver around 17:15 local time (23:15 GMT) after the crew reported “engine vibrations”, the FAA said.
