An American Airlines plane carrying 178 people caught fire on the tarmac after making an emergency landing at Denver International Airport Thursday evening, forcing many passengers to evacuate by climbing out onto a wing and with emergency slides.

Footage shows passengers huddled on the wing of the commercial airliner, which was on the tarmac, as flames burn under the aircraft.

The Boeing 737 was flying from Colorado Springs to Dallas Fort Worth when it was diverted to Denver International Airport.
