What started as a routine morning flight from Las Vegas to Charlotte quickly turned into a tense situation for passengers aboard American Airlines Flight 1665. The Airbus A321 had barely left the runway at Harry Reid International Airport when a series of loud booms rattled the sky and flames erupted from one of its engines, prompting the crew to turn back.

The flight, which took off around 7:57 a.m. Wednesday with 153 passengers and six crew members, landed safely at 8:23 a.m. despite the dramatic mid-air scare. Witnesses on the ground said the noise and smoke from the aircraft caught their attention right away.

“I was like, ‘Oh my god, it’s going to explode,’” said Richard Pedrosa, who was working at a nearby construction site when he saw the engine catch fire.

“I was kind of scared because that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that.”

Multiple people across Las Vegas reported hearing loud booming sounds and seeing smoke trail from the plane as it circled back toward the airport. Video clips posted on social media showed flashes and flames shooting from the engine. Mark Jackson, who was in a parking lot at the time, told ABC News he initially thought it was fireworks. “When we looked up and saw what was really happening, I was shocked and super sad thinking about how scared everyone on board must be,” he said.

American Airlines confirmed the plane returned due to a mechanical issue. “The aircraft taxied to the gate under its own power and customers deplaned normally,” the airline said in a statement. While the airline insisted there was “no evidence of fire in the engine,” the footage and eyewitness accounts told a different story.

Matthew Villasista, who was golfing at Las Vegas National Golf Club, said the noise was hard to ignore. “We could hear lots of booming noises, almost like a boombox. It sort of stopped us in our tracks,” he told ABC News.

The airline said its maintenance team is evaluating the aircraft and added, “We appreciate the professionalism of our crew and thank our team who are working to get our customers to their destinations as quickly as possible.”

The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the flight crew reported engine trouble shortly after takeoff. The FAA is currently investigating the incident, noting that initial details remain under review.

Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?

Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.

“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
