**Passengers Relate Harrowing Escape from Fiery American Airlines Flight**

Passengers describe panic and relief after dramatic emergency landing due to engine fire.


A recent American Airlines flight bound for Dallas faced a terrifying ordeal after flames engulfed the aircraft upon landing in Denver, sparking harrowing accounts of survival and resilience from the 172 passengers on board.


"Terrifying and exhausting" was how survivor Michele Woods described her experience as the American Airlines flight descended into chaos after an emergency landing in Denver due to engine troubles. That fateful flight, which was en route to Dallas, quickly turned from a routine journey to a dramatic scene as smoke filled the cabin and flames were visible from the windows.

All crew members and passengers, including those who emerged on the wings, were fortunately able to evacuate safely. Some passengers endured minor injuries, with twelve receiving hospital treatment. Woods, who initially thought the flight was proceeding without incident, first sensed trouble in the cabin when unusual engine vibrations became apparent mid-flight.

The FAA confirmed that the aircraft diverted to Denver around 5:15 PM local time due to these alarming vibrations. Chaos ensued once it had landed, as panic set in among those aboard. Many passengers found themselves stranded on the smoking wings of the airplane, including Ingrid Hibbit, who escaped alongside her husband and daughter. With visible flames outside and melting windows, Hibbit shared her anxiety: "I was like shaking," as her family members were seated in different sections, only able to communicate via text.

Despite the distressing ten minutes awaiting rescue, Hibbit expressed immense relief upon safely disembarking and reuniting with her family. Now safely landed in Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the passengers are grateful for their survival and reflect on the life-altering incident. "If this would've happened in the air, I don't think we would be telling this story at all," she commented on the ordeal, further ingrained with a profound sense of gratitude for their shared survival.
