Delta Air Lines Flight 1213 was pushing back from the gate in Orlando when an engine caught fire, the FAA said.

A Delta Air Lines airplane caught fire before it was supposed to take off at a central Florida airport, forcing the evacuation of passengers.

A Delta flight with more than 200 passengers on board caught fire Monday in Florida while on the runway. "The fire was contained and is out. Some passengers were evacuated via an emergency slide," said officials at Orlando International Airport.
