ATLANTA — Crews are responding to a fire on a Delta Airlines jet at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, officials confirm.
Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Sgt. Cortez Stafford confirmed crews were responding to the scene, but said no one has been reported injured.
Fire crews hosed the aircraft's engine, before towing it from the runway back to the concourse with passengers still aboard. Airport officials say there was "minimal impact" to operations.
Photos from the runway show smoke and flames coming from one of the plane's engines.

Yesterday it was Southwest, today Delta. When is 60 Minutes going to do an expose? (Or how long until an dAllegiant flight crashes).
And It started with bunch of military crashes. Now all these near disasters in commercial aircraft. Coincidence?
“Yesterday it was Southwest, today”

Aircrafts are turning against their masters. I knew it would happen one day.
I'm glad nobody was hurt.
You could try providing some actual annual statistics. Assertion by anecdote does not provide trends in aviation safety or disaster.
Coincidence?
I think not.
It will be interesting to see the cause, on both incidents.
“Yesterday it was Southwest, today Delta. When is 60 Minutes going to do an expose?”
Airlines often work together to help each other out, so the next time that Delta has a serious ‘issue’, Southwest will likely take one for them.

If it was on the ground, why couldn’t they just kill the fuel supply?

What are you afraid of?
.
When will Rachel Maddow or Joe Scarborough wonder aloud if PDJT is somehow causing these incidents to distract attention from Stormy Daniels?
When they start paying attention to real news, and notice these airline problems are occurring...
Ha ha. Should have supported the 2nd Amendment scumbags! I hope your entire inventory burns.
They come in threes.
Somehow this is the NRA’s fault....
I think it may have actually been air bound when the fire started. If the tweet I saw from a fox reporter was real that is. He claimed to have been on the plane.
I’m not afraid of anything about this, what a stooopid question.
I would like to see some actual data if someone asserts there is a new or growing problem. There are always some aviation accidents out of millions of flights per year. First US civilian aviation fatality in nearly a decade (on the Southwest flight). Is there a trend? Do you know anything about this?
Are you afraid of data, rationality, and rigor? Do you have a problem with people wanting intelligent discussion and not ignorant ranting?
Perhaps you could research such data yourself
