The Boeing 777 was en route to the Philippines when a mechanical issue was reported.
Video recorded by people on the ground shows flames spewing out of one of the plane's engines, emitting plumes of black smoke. Passengers were also seen being evacuated from the plane but's unclear how many were on board.
One engine was lost, but the plane landed "without incident," according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor. While it was initially speculated to be a "classic compressor stall," the FAA has not determined an official cause.
No injuries were reported.
