CHICAGO, Oct 29 (APP/AFP) – Eight people were injured when an American Airlines Boeing 767 bound for Miami caught fire Friday as it attempted to take off from Chicago’s O’Hare airport, the company said. The blaze broke out on American Airlines Flight 383 — with 161 passengers and nine crew on board — as the plane was on the runway at one of the nation’s busiest airports. Seven passengers and one flight attendant suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital, the airline said. “We are taking care of our customers and crew and are re-accommodating our passengers on another flight to Miami this evening,” the airline said.
