A Korean Air jet aborted takeoff after its left engine caught fire at Tokyo's main airport around midday on Friday. The Boeing 777, bound for Seoul, was carrying 319 passengers and crew members, according to a Reuters report. A grainy video shown on RT, likely from a bystander, shows the jet rolling for takeoff at Haneda Airport, then flames bursting out of the left engine as the aircraft comes to a stop. News outlets also showed footage of passengers sliding down the emergency chutes and firefighters dousing the engine. No injuries were reported but about 30 passengers said they felt ill, Reuters reported.
