None of the flight’s passengers or crew were injured in the chilling incident, and passengers, who were headed to the Hajj, were boarded onto a new flight later Wednesday.

A Boeing 747-400 with 468 people aboard was forced to make an emergency landing in Indonesia on Wednesday after one of its engines caught fire and began shooting out flames during takeoff.

The Garuda Indonesia flight was bound for Medina, Saudi Arabia, which is the entry point for many Muslims making their pilgrimage to Mecca. It left from Indonesia’s international airport in Makassar, where clips showed one of the plane’s four engines becoming engulfed in flames during takeoff on Wednesday evening.

Videos of the engine fire were shared online by JACDEC, a plane crash data evaluation firm, which showed that the flames began just as the plane had lifted from the runway.

    • Bird in for service

    Bird mechanic sucks teeth: well, the wings are out of alignment and some cowboy’s got the quack valve out of alignment. I can fix it, but it isn’t going to be cheep. Mind you, if you fly it like this you’re likely to have a nasty accident.

    Customer: I know your tricks! Stop trying to up-sell me. I only brought it in for a beak polish. I’m going and I’m going to leave a bad review on twitter!

    Bird takes off, immediately veers into the path of a plane, which promptly bursts into flames.

    Bird mechanic: Told you.
