300 passengers evacuated from Korean Air plane at Tokyo airport as engines catch fire

About 300 passengers and crew members were evacuated from a Korean Air Boeing

777 at Tokyo’s Haneda airport in dramatic scenes after one of the engines caught fire, officials said Friday.

TV footage from the airport showed the plane, which was bound for South Korea’s Gimpo International, surrounded by red fire trucks and with the area around its left wing doused in foam. The plane’s inflatable emergency evacuation slides had all been deployed.
