What would you do if you saw flames coming from the engine of your airplane just after takeoff?
That’s exactly what happened on United Flight 2127 departing Los Angeles, when passengers reported visible flames and loud noises coming from the left engine of a Boeing 787.
In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down exactly what happened — from the moment the crew got the engine fire warning, to the decision to turn back, and how modern aircraft are specifically designed to handle situations like this.
