ABOVE: Emergency vehicles surround the plane after it made its emergency landing at Heathrow
The right engine was clearly on fire. I mean, big flames, very visible.

A JET with 75 passengers had to make an emergency landing yesterday after one of its engines burst into flames in mid-air.
Smoke was seen billowing from the British
Airways Airbus A319 moments after it took off from London Heathrow bound
for the Norwegian capital, Oslo.
The plane made a hasty return and terrified passengers were evacuated via emergency chutes as fire crews doused the flames.
Passenger David Gallagher said: "The right engine was clearly on fire. I mean, big flames, very visible.”
Investigators have ruled out a terror attack and believe the jet could have flown into a flock of birds.
