A FedEx cargo plane traveling from Newark to Indianapolis struck a bird during takeoff, causing damage to one of its engines. The plane made an emergency landing back at Newark Liberty International Airport with no reported injuries. Videos circulating online show the plane on fire while in the air. The FAA is investigating the incident, which is the latest in a series of aviation incidents this week, including smoke reported on a Delta Air Lines flight and a bomb threat on an American Airlines flight. The Australia-bound Delta flight also had to return to Los Angeles International Airport due to smoke in its galley. The FedEx crew and first responders are being praised for their quick actions in safely returning the plane to the airport. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
