A FedEx Boeing 767-3S2F cargo plane experienced an engine fire caused by a bird strike shortly after taking off from Newark Airport on Saturday morning.
The aircraft made an emergency landing just nine minutes after takeoff, safely returning to the tarmac at 8:07 a.m.
Dramatic video footage captured flames spewing from the plane's right engine as it returned to the airport.
No injuries were reported, though eyewitnesses described hearing a loud explosion during the incident.
Air traffic at Newark Airport was briefly halted as a precaution but has since resumed normal operations.
