Spirit Airlines Flight from DFW Explodes, Lands Safely

A Tuesday flight from Atlanta to DFW Airport from DFW, headed to Atlanta, had an “emergency situation” that this reporter describes as an engine exploding. The flight returned to the airport and landed safely, but before that passengers were texting loved ones (and filming without turning their phones sideways).

Part of one message read, “…I love you make sure my kids know that forever. We have a problem I [sic] the plane it’s full of smoke [sic] the engine has stop and te [sic] whole plane is shaking … I love you don’t forget it!! Pray for me.”
