New York-Bound Delta Flight Makes Emergency Landing as Flames Shoot From Plane’s Wing

A plane flying from Edinburgh to New York was forced to make an emergency landing shortly after take-off on Friday, February 10, the Glasgow Times reported, after flames were seen shooting from one of the wings.The aircraft was headed for JFK airport but was forced to land at Glasgow Prestwick airport, the Glasgow Times said.Footage by Cory McIntosh, who was on Delta flight 209, shows bright orange flames coming from the wing of the plane. Children can be heard crying in the background.“It was a very scary situation, especially with so many kids on board,” McIntosh told Storyful, adding that the crew were “great at trying to keep people calm.”“They were clearly shaken by the situation but remained professional and helped a lot of passengers calm down. Can’t fault them,” she said.A Delta Air Lines spokesperson said the flight was diverted following “a mechanical issue with one of the aircraft’s two engines,” in a statement reported by the Glasgow Times.
