A cargo plane caught fire mid-air due to an engine failure. The incident occurred shortly after taking off from Miami International Airport, and the Boeing 747-8 had to make an emergency landing.

"The crew followed all standard procedures and safely returned to MIA," the company said in a statement to Reuters.

Likewise, it was learned from the Reuters report that the Miami-Dade Fire Department responded to the emergency and that no injuries were reported. The information was confirmed by Miami International Airport in a separate statement to Reuters.

Meanwhile, videos were published on social media showing the plane on fire flying through the sky. Authorities are expected to investigate what led to the incident.
