Boeing Delta 767 flight catches fire after takeoff, returns to Los Angeles
A Delta Air Lines flight en route to Atlanta was forced to make an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport shortly after takeoff on Saturday (local time), after pilots detected signs of a fire in the aircraft's left engine. Flight DL446, operated by a Boeing 767-400, had departed Los Angeles airport when the crew observed indications of an engine fire. The aircraft, powered by two GE CF6 engines, was climbing out over the Pacific Ocean when the issue arose. Pilots immediately declared an emergency and requested a return to Los Angeles. Air Traffic Control guided the jet safely back, alerting emergency services at the airport. Ground footage captured by aviation YouTube channel LA Flights, run by Josh and Peter, showed flames erupting from the left engine as the aircraft turned back over southern Los Angeles. In the video, the jet is seen flying steadily while a fireball blazes beneath one wing. As the aircraft descended, the fire appeared to subside. The landing gear deployed as expected, and the plane touched down safely with the engine no longer visibly burning. ❗️Boeing 787 Makes Emergency Landing in LA ???????? - Engine ON FIRE ????

Delta engine fire follows deadly Air India crash in June The Delta engine fire incident comes just a month after a separate and far more tragic incident involving a Boeing aircraft. On June 12, an Air India flight 171 operating a Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed into a medical college complex in the Meghani Nagar area of Ahmedabad shortly after take-off. The flight was en route from Ahmedabad to Gatwick, London. The crash claimed the lives of more than 260 people. A preliminary report by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), released on July 12, revealed that the fuel switches to the aircraft's engines had been turned off within seconds of take-off. The action caused immediate confusion in the cockpit, according to the report, which remains under investigation. A subsequent report by The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, said the first officer had questioned the more experienced captain about switching the fuel controls to the "cutoff" position just after the plane lifted off the runway. The captain is believed to have turned off the switches, though the AAIB has not clarified whether the action was deliberate or accidental.

The fire was seen as the plane passed over the southern part of the city. The aircraft first ascended over the Pacific Ocean, then circled back inland over Downey and Paramount. This gave the crew time to complete safety checks and prepare for landing. Live Events Despite the apparent danger, the aircraft maintained a stable altitude and speed throughout the manoeuvre. The plane landed safely back at LAX without any reported injuries to the passengers or crew. Response on the ground Emergency services were waiting on the tarmac as the plane landed. Firefighters confirmed the blaze was extinguished. Passengers were informed mid-flight by the captain about the suspected fire. One passenger told Aviation A2Z that the captain had said fire crews were "verifying that the engine fire is out." A Delta spokesperson confirmed the return and told the BBC: "Delta flight 446 returned to Los Angeles shortly after departure following an indication of an issue with the aircraft's left engine." The flight was scheduled to land at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Aircraft details and FAA investigation The aircraft involved was a Boeing 767-400, registered as N836MH, and is 24.6 years old. It runs on two General Electric CF6 engines. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an official investigation to determine the exact cause of the fire. Officials said that the precise reason behind the engine failure remains under review. Second engine fire for Delta this year This incident is the second time in 2025 that Delta has faced an engine fire. On 1 January, Delta flight DL105, an Airbus A330neo, was forced to return to Atlanta after a similar fire broke out shortly after departure. That flight was bound for São Paulo's Guarulhos International Airport. As in Friday's incident, flames were seen coming from the engine in the earlier event. The aircraft turned back to Atlanta safely. No injuries were reported in that case either. Delta said it is working closely with authorities and is reviewing its safety protocols. "Delta flight 446 returned to Los Angeles shortly after departure following an indication of an issue with the aircraft's left engine," the spokesperson repeated in their statement to the BBC. Passengers were later accommodated on other flights. No delays to other services have been reported so far. The FAA's findings will determine what steps, if any, the airline or manufacturers may need to take next.

Marco Rubio confronts Russia minister over Ukraine, says US ‘frustrated' by Moscow's stalling
Days after Donald Trump's 'not happy' call with Vladimir Putin, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he expressed 'disappointment and frustration' to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov over the lack of progress in ending the war in Ukraine, during a 'frank' conversation at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' meeting in Kuala Lumpur. 'I echoed what the president said of both disappointment and frustration at the lack of progress in peace talks or in a path forward,' Rubio told reporters after the meeting. 'It was a frank, important conversation.' The Russian side described the meeting as a 'substantive and frank exchange of views,' according to a statement from Moscow. 'We understand that these things take time and patience, but obviously we're also frustrated that more progress has not been made, and hopefully we, based on today, and in the days to come, we'll have more clarity about what exactly the Russian position and priorities are in this regard, and can begin to make some progress,' Rubio said. ❗️Rubio Describes Conversation with Lavrov as 'Frank and Important' — RT_India (@RT_India_news) July 10, 2025 Rubio also revealed that Lavrov shared 'a new idea' related to Ukraine — though he offered no specifics. 'It's not a new approach. It's a new idea or a new concept that I'll take back to the president to discuss,' he said. While cautioning that it was not a breakthrough, Rubio added, 'It could potentially open the door to a path' toward peace. The meeting comes as Trump reiterated multiple times this week that Ukraine urgently needs defensive weapons, after a brief but controversial halt in arms shipments caused uncertainty about the future of US support. The pause, reportedly authorised by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth without informing the White House, also caught Rubio off guard, according to a CNN report. The Pentagon's unilateral decision was short-lived, as Trump quickly moved to clarify the US stance. 'Putin is not — he's not treating human beings right,' Trump said of Russian President on Tuesday. 'He's killing too many people.' 'So we're sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine, and I've approved that,' the president said. Trump also lashed out at Putin, accusing him of making hollow overtures toward peace: 'He has offered a lot of 'bulls**t' which has proved to be 'meaningless.'' Shortly after Trump's remarks, Russia escalated its offensive by launching what Ukraine's Air Force called its largest drone attack to date — over 700 drones were deployed across Ukrainian territory. The meeting in Kuala Lumpur is Rubio's second face-to-face with Lavrov this year, the first having taken place in Saudi Arabia. The two have also held multiple phone conversations in recent months as Washington pushed for a ceasefire — efforts that ultimately failed to produce results. Earlier in his second term, Trump had adopted a more conciliatory tone toward Putin in hopes of brokering a deal to end the war. But with Russia's continued aggression and mounting civilian casualties, the president's frustration has turned increasingly public — creating a more confrontational backdrop for US-Russia diplomacy.
