A FedEx cargo plane made an emergency landing at Newark Airport in New Jersey Saturday morning after a bird strike caused one of its engines to catch fire, an airport official told Fox News Digital.
Dramatic video shows the plane banking right when it lets off a large plume of smoke as fire appears from its right engine.
Eyewitnesses said that they heard a loud explosion too, while another can be heard in one video frantically yelling, "Oh my God, oh my God."
There were no reported injuries and the plane touched down at 8:07 a.m., the official said. It is unclear how many people were on board at the time. Air traffic was briefly halted as a precaution at the airport, but operations have since resumed, the official said.
The cargo plane is a Boeing 767-300 twin-jet aircraft, according to Flight Radar.
