DENVER (AP) -- An engine caught fire on a United Airlines flight that was getting ready to leave Denver for New York late Friday.
The flames forced the evacuation of 131 passengers and five crew members on the emergency slides. Several people reported minor injuries, including sprained ankles.
The fire on Flight 408 from Denver to La Guardia Airport was spotted by a crew on another plane.
There was no word on what caused the fire on the Airbus A-320. The passengers were expected to catch a later flight.
