A plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Las Vegas after one of its engines caught fire shortly after takeoff. American Airlines Flight 1665 was forced to make an emergency U-turn and land back at Harry Reid International Airport after the incident.

Terrifying footage showed the plane flying overhead with flames and smoke trailing from its right engine. Fire crews are investigating, and no injuries have been reported.

The plane was on its way to Charlotte, North Carolina with 153 passengers and crew members onboard.

American Airlines says the flight was forced to return to Las Vegas due to a "mechanical issue". A spokesperson for the carrier said in an email: "American Airlines flight 1665 returned to Las Vegas (LAS) shortly after takeoff due to a mechanical issue.

"The aircraft taxied to the gate under its own power and customers deplaned normally.

"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," they added, as per Las Vegas Review Journal.
