A FedEx plane’s engine caught fire shortly after taking off from Newark Airport Saturday morning — prompting an emergency landing.
Wild video shows the Boeing 767-3S2F returning to the tarmac as flames spewed from the right engine around 8 a.m.
The sudden ignition was caused by a bird strike, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The jet landed at 8:07 a.m., just nine minutes after takeoff, flight data shows.
No one was injured in the mayhem. Air traffic was briefly halted as a precaution, but operations have since resumed.
