United Airlines flight catches fire just before takeoff | LiveNOW from FOX

A United Airlines jet bound for Seattle aborted takeoff at O’Hare International Airport on Memorial Day after one of its engines caught fire, causing a temporary halt to incoming flights.

The incident occurred around 2 p.m. when the pilot of United Flight 2091, an Airbus A320, was forced to terminate takeoff due to the emergency, according to the FAA.

Cellphone video from a passenger shows black smoke billowing from one of the jet’s engines.

During the emergency, the FAA temporarily paused all incoming flights to O’Hare. Operations returned to normal at 2:45 p.m., the FAA confirmed.

O’Hare even racked up some of the worst Memorial Day delays around the globe. This holiday weekend, airlines have seen an increase of about 5 percent in air travel compared to last Memorial Day. The FAA expects Tuesday and Wednesday to be even busier than Monday.

LiveNOW's Carel Lajara spoke about the engine fire and other travel issues at O'Hare with FOX 32 reporter Kasey Chronis.
