The United Airlines' Boeing plane, which had its course plotted for Fort Myers, Florida, had one of its engines explode into flames, which forced it to make an emergency landing back at its takeoff location of George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Texas

Another incident involving a Boeing plane had its door panel blown off in January, according to a report by The Independent.

The Storyful news agency also quoted a passenger on the plane who said that the incident only occurred 15 minutes into its journey. The entire flight was supposed to be two hours long.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we realized something happened outside," a crew member of the plane said through the intercom in a video that was published on multiple news sites. Also in the video documentation, bright orange sparks were shooting out from the plane's left wing.
