A Delta passenger jet caught fire on the tarmac at Orlando International Airport on Monday and passengers had to evacuate via the emergency exit slides, the Federal Aviation Authority said Monday. Delta Air Lines Flight 1213, bound for Atlanta, was pushing back from the gate for departure at around 11:15 a.m. local time on Monday when an engine caught fire, the FAA said in a statement. There were no initial reports of injuries from the incident. Passenger Kyle Becker, who was sitting in row 35, said he opened the window as soon as he heard people yell "fire!" "There was a fire on the engine," Becker told CBS News senior transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave. "[It] was a little scary...just never had happened to me before. Start thinking, like, OK, what are the next steps. Trying to remain calm." Delta said crew members evacuated the cabin when flames were seen in the tailpipe of one of the plane's two main engines and fire crews quickly responded. According to Delta, the plane, an Airbus 330, had 282 passengers, 10 flight attendants and two pilots on board.
