A Delta Airlines flight was forced to abort takeoff Thursday afternoon at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after a mechanical failure caused flames to shoot out of the right engine.

The plane, which was headed to Portland, Oregon, returned from the runway to the gate, according to Delta spokesperson Bre’onna Richardson.

Passengers from flight 1661 were rebooked onto another plane and arrived in Portland two hours later than scheduled, Richardson said in a prepared statement. “We apologize to our customers for their delay in travel,” she added.

“ABC World News Tonight” aired video footage Friday showing the plane on the runway at MSP, with flames visibly coming from under the right wing.
