American Airlines Plane Catches Fire After Emergency Landing in Denver

Passengers evacuated safely as FAA launches investigation into engine-related issue on Boeing 737-800.

American Airlines Flight 1006, en route from Colorado Springs to Dallas, made an emergency landing in Denver after reporting engine vibrations.
The plane's engine caught fire while taxiing to the gate, prompting the evacuation of 172 passengers and six crew members via emergency slides and the plane's wing.
No fatalities were reported, though Denver International Airport confirmed that 12 passengers were treated for minor injuries.
The FAA has initiated an investigation into the cause of the fire, which occurred on a 13-year-old Boeing 737-800 equipped with CFM56 engines.
The incident adds to recent concerns over aviation safety following a series of high-profile accidents in North America this year.
