Tokyo, Japan - Passengers of Korean Air Boeing 777 flight KE2708 was
forced to evacuate after an engine fire broke out, an airport official
said.
Flight KE2708 was preparing to take off from Japan's Haneda airport in Tokyo on Friday before smoke came from the left engine of the said airplane.
The footage from the airport showed the plane, which was bound for South Korea's Gimpo International, surrounded by red fire trucks and with the area around its left wing doused in foam. The plane's inflatable emergency evacuation slides and all had been deployed.
The plane bound to Kimpo(Gimpo) Airport from Haneda had 302 passengers and 17 crew members on board. The fire was apparently put out and all the passengers and crew are safe.
Authorities had to temporarily halt flights at Haneda Airport, which is fifth busiest in the world
