TL;DR Summary

A Boeing-manufactured Atlas Air 747 cargo plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Florida after one of its engines burst into flames shortly after takeoff from Miami en route to Puerto Rico. Video footage captured the frightening malfunction, showing the plane streaking across the sky while on fire. A "softball-size hole" was discovered above the engine during a post-flight inspection, and the cause of the mid-air inferno remains unclear. This incident adds to Boeing's recent troubles, including an Alaska Airlines flight interrupted by a sudden rupture to its hull, prompting serious safety concerns and investigations by the Federal Aviation Administration.
