A United States flight from Houston to New York had to be evacuated after it caught on fire during takeoff. 

On Sunday, United Airlines Flight 1382, an Airbus A320, was evacuated at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, Texas, after an engine fire forced the crew to abort takeoff. 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the plane was evacuated due to a “reported engine issue” just after 8:30 a.m.

Some passengers had to evacuate using emergency slides, while others exited through the jet bridge, according to the Houston Fire Department. 

Video footage taken by passengers shows them standing on the tarmac as emergency crews responded.

According to reports, there were 104 passengers and five crew members on board, though no injuries have been reported. 

The flight was rescheduled to take off at 12:30 p.m. local time. 

The FAA is now investigating the incident. 

This comes after a plane crashed near a mall in Philadelphia, which killed seven people and injured 19 others. 

The incident also follows after a major plane crash in the Washington, D.C., area — where an Army Black Hawk Helicopter collided with a commercial American Airlines plane, killing 67 people on board.

Will the DC Plane Crash be a WAKE-UP CALL for America's Flight Safety?

UPDATE: 500-Hour Blackhawk H-60 Pilot, Rebecca Lobach, Failed to See & Avoid American Eagle 5342

Michael 'Rocket' Blackstone, a 43 year pilot, 26 year airline pilot, and aerobatic performer and stunt pilot describes what he feels to be the likely causes of the unthinkable....a midair collision between a military H-60 and an airliner. This is the first midair collision on US soil since the Aeromexico crash in Southern California in 1986 - some 38 years ago. The likely cause is now pointing toward the 28 year old female pilot, Captain Rebecca Lobach, who was at the controls of the H-60 with only 500 hours of flight time was allegedly taking a competency check ride with Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, 39 was evaluating her had only 1,000 hours. The pair failed to see and avoid traffic called out by Washington Tower after stating that they had the traffic in sight. Clearly the H-60 crew did not have the traffic in sight, failed to fly at or below the required 200' altitude on the route, and are the likely cause of 67 people losing their lives. My heart and prayers go out to everyone involved in this horrible aviation tragedy. I hope this never happens again.
