Delta Air Lines Flight DL446, a Boeing 767-400 bound for Atlanta, made an emergency landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) after its left engine caught fire shortly after takeoff. Dramatic video footage captured flames mid-flight, prompting the crew to declare an emergency and return to LAX. Air Traffic Control coordinated the landing, and fire crews extinguished the blaze on the runway. No injuries were reported. The aircraft, nearly 25 years old and powered by GE CF6 engines, had climbed over the Pacific before circling back inland. The FAA has launched an investigation into the incident. Delta confirmed the issue and is reviewing safety protocols following the scare.
