An IndiGo aircraft was grounded after its engine caught fire during take off from the Delhi Airpot on October 28, the airline said. Footage taken by a passenger on the Bangalore-bound flight shows sparks fly from the right wing as the plane safely landed back on the tarmac around 10 pm. “The flight experienced an engine stall during take off roll. The take off was aborted and the aircraft safely returned to the bay,” the airline wrote in a reply on Twitter. Airport officials said a detailed investigation of the incident will be carried out to determine why the engine caught fire, according to news reports.

Pilot sues Southwest after colleague exposes himself
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A Southwest Airlines pilot is suing the company, her union and a former colleague who pleaded guilty last year to dead-bolting the cockpit door during a flight and stripping naked in front of her.
Christine Janning alleges that Southwest retaliated by grounding her after she reported Michael Haak to the company and the FBI, that it kept him employed despite an alleged history of sexual misconduct and that managers disparaged her in memos.
She also alleges that the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association conspired with the airline and refused to support her. She is suing Haak for sexual assault. He pleaded guilty last year to a federal misdemeanor charge of committing a lewd, indecent or obscene act and was sentenced to probation.
