Script:
Dramatic footage captured by MVS (@Mvious) shows a large passenger airplane with one engine on fire, trailing smoke as it flies over Las Vegas. The incident involved American Airlines Flight 1665, which was forced to make an emergency landing shortly after takeoff from Harry Reid International Airport on June 25, 2025.

The flight, bound for Charlotte, North Carolina, began sparking and spewing smoke moments after departure, according to the FAA. The video shows the aircraft making a sharp U-turn, likely as it prepared to return to the airport.

The plane, carrying 165 passengers, landed safely at Harry Reid International Airport by 8:20 a.m. and was able to taxi to the terminal under its own power. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
