Subsequent videos showed the plane on the runway as fire trucks raced up to extinguish the flames.
Authorities say the incident was caused by a bird strike, but resulted in no injuries.
“FedEx Flight 3609 from Newark to Indianapolis experienced a bird strike during takeoff. Our crew declared an emergency and returned safely to Newark. We are thankful for the quick actions of our crew and first responders,” a FedEx representative told The New York Post.
It’s the latest in a series of frightening aviation incidents in the U.S. this year, including a mid-air collision in Washington D.C. between an American Airlines flight and a military helicopter that caused the deaths of 67 people and a crash landing in Toronto that flipped a Delta flight upside down but miraculously resulted in no deaths.
