Passengers and witnesses on the ground saw a frightening sight captured on video Thursday when the engine on a Boeing 777 carrying a Philippine Airlines flight started spewing flames, prompting the pilot to make a mayday call.
Flight 113 departed Los Angeles International Airport around 11:15 a.m. heading to Manila. The flight was no more than several minutes in the air when the pilot said there was an emergency, and a possible mechanical issue, an LAX spokesman said.
Air traffic control transcripts reveal the severity of the emergency. A mayday call meant the pilot believed the situation was life-threatening.
