The United Airlines Flight 1382 was taking off from George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and was headed to LaGuardia Airport in New York.
Several videos have surfaced online from passengers showing smoke and flames coming from the wing of the plane.
This most recent plane incident comes after a military helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet over the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport last week and a medical jet crashed into a Northeast Philadelphia area Friday night.
Investigations into these incidents are ongoing.
