An Atlas Air Boeing 747-8 cargo plane made an emergency landing at Miami International Airport after experiencing engine trouble shortly after takeoff. "The crew followed all standard procedures and safely returned to MIA," Atlas Air said. Videos on social media showed flames erupting from the aircraft's left wing while in flight. The company said it would inspect the plane to determine the cause. The Boeing 747-8 is powered by four GEnx engines. Reuters reported no injuries were recorded, though the number of crew onboard is unclear. This incident comes as Boeing faces ongoing scrutiny after recent emergencies, including an Alaska Airlines MAX 9 that lost part of its fuselage after takeoff in Oregon.
