The fire was seen as the plane passed over the southern part of the city. The aircraft first ascended over the Pacific Ocean, then circled back inland over Downey and Paramount. This gave the crew time to complete safety checks and prepare for landing. Live Events Despite the apparent danger, the aircraft maintained a stable altitude and speed throughout the manoeuvre. The plane landed safely back at LAX without any reported injuries to the passengers or crew. Response on the ground Emergency services were waiting on the tarmac as the plane landed. Firefighters confirmed the blaze was extinguished. Passengers were informed mid-flight by the captain about the suspected fire. One passenger told Aviation A2Z that the captain had said fire crews were "verifying that the engine fire is out." A Delta spokesperson confirmed the return and told the BBC: "Delta flight 446 returned to Los Angeles shortly after departure following an indication of an issue with the aircraft's left engine." The flight was scheduled to land at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Aircraft details and FAA investigation The aircraft involved was a Boeing 767-400, registered as N836MH, and is 24.6 years old. It runs on two General Electric CF6 engines. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an official investigation to determine the exact cause of the fire. Officials said that the precise reason behind the engine failure remains under review. Second engine fire for Delta this year This incident is the second time in 2025 that Delta has faced an engine fire. On 1 January, Delta flight DL105, an Airbus A330neo, was forced to return to Atlanta after a similar fire broke out shortly after departure. That flight was bound for São Paulo's Guarulhos International Airport. As in Friday's incident, flames were seen coming from the engine in the earlier event. The aircraft turned back to Atlanta safely. No injuries were reported in that case either. Delta said it is working closely with authorities and is reviewing its safety protocols. "Delta flight 446 returned to Los Angeles shortly after departure following an indication of an issue with the aircraft's left engine," the spokesperson repeated in their statement to the BBC. Passengers were later accommodated on other flights. No delays to other services have been reported so far. The FAA's findings will determine what steps, if any, the airline or manufacturers may need to take next.

Delta's Boeing 767 makes emergency landing in Los Angeles as engine catches fire moments after takeoff
Atlanta-bound Boeing 767 operating as Delta flight 446 was forced to make an emergency landing in Los Angeles as a precautionary measure on Friday moments after takeoff due to engine failure. The video shows flames emanating from one side of the aircraft. No one was injured. The fire was extinguished upon landing. According to a report by Aviation A2Z, the plane (24-year-old Boeing 767-400 with registration N836MH) had just departed from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) when its left engine ignited. The pilots promptly declared an emergency and requested to return to the airport. Air Traffic Control (ATC) provided guidance for the aircraft to head back to LAX and notified ground emergency crews. Data from Flightradar24 indicates that flight DL446 ascended over the Pacific Ocean before redirecting inland, flying over the areas of Downey and Paramount. This route allowed the flight crew to carry out necessary safety protocols and get ready for landing. Throughout the maneuver, the plane held a consistent altitude and airspeed. 'Delta flight 446 returned to Los Angeles shortly after departure following an indication of an issue with the aircraft's left engine," BBC quoted a Delta Air Lines spokesperson as saying. According to passengers, the captain told them that fire crews were 'verifying that the engine fire is out'. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated a probe to assess the fire cause. The plane is equipped with two General Electric CF6 engines, reports said. In April, a separate Delta aircraft encountered an engine fire at Orlando International Airport. Delta Air Lines Flight 1213 was getting ready to depart for Atlanta when the fire erupted on the ramp. The aircraft involved, an Airbus A330, had 282 passengers on board, along with 10 flight attendants and two pilots. Everyone was safely evacuated, and no injuries occurred. Emergency response and firefighting units at Orlando airport acted swiftly to manage the incident.

Step Inside A Factory Building 1960s Airliners
Stories about lost parts and corners being cut on the production line might give American aviation a bad rap these days, but it's always fun to look at how far we've come in more than half a century of aerospace research. That's where this vintage footage taken inside the factory that assembled McDonnell Douglas DC-10 aircraft comes in. Boeing wasn't always the biggest name in American aerospace, and back in the 1960s a company called McDonnell Douglas churned out some pretty iconic civil jets that went into service across the U.S. and around the world. The company's most famous plane was probably the DC-10, a strange machine with a jet engine on each wing and a third mounted to the tail of the aircraft. In a new video shared by excellent YouTube channel Boeing Classics, workers at the McDonnell Douglas show off what it took to assemble a DC-10 back in the 1960s. Read more: Here's Why You Always Board Planes On The Left The clip, which you can see for yourself above, shows four DC-10 fuselages lined up inside an enormous factory. In one, a crew is working to pack insulation into the body of the plane, while another sees crews working to seal all the workings of the plane in. Inside another fuselage, workers are installing all manner of wiring looms and plumbing, while another is being lined with the kind of plastic window surrounds that wouldn't look out of place on a modern commercial jet. At the opposite side of the plant, tail sections of the 300-passenger aircraft are being assembled and the housing for that third engine on the tail is being fabricated. Another side of the plant is working on nosecones, with windows being fitted to three different cockpits. Once the three sections of the 180-foot long aircraft are fabricated, they are brought together with the 155-foot wings. The components are all carefully hauled into place, before being riveted together at the seams. When they are connected, work begins on the mechanics of the planes with flaps and ailerons installed on the wings and tails, and equipment is strapped to the nose of the DC-10. At this point, there's a choreographed display as all manner of parts and components are swung into place while ladders are lent up against different surfaces and engineers get to work. The final piece of the puzzle is the installation of the three engines, which were either General Electric CF6 units or Pratt & Whitney JT9D turbofan engines depending on the variant. The DC-10 was in production for almost 20 years and McDonnell Douglas churned out almost 400 of the aircraft in this manner. While the DC-10 operated commercially from the early 1970s right up to 2014, none of the nine remaining aircraft fly passengers anymore. The majority of these remaining planes work as cargo carriers, and one remaining DC-10 is used as a firefighting aircraft here in North America. Despite remaining in limited service today, production of the DC-10 ceased in the late 1980s after slowing sales for the commercial jet. It had been plagued with safety issues, crashes and problems with fuel economy, which meant it wasn't a popular jet for many operators. So sure, maybe footage of the construction of a plane that was caught up in more than 50 incidents that led to the deaths of more than 1,200 people might not be the best way to look back on the golden age of American aviation.
