Flight 1006 had departed from Colorado Springs and was headed to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport when it was diverted to Denver after the crew reported “engine vibrations.”

An American Airlines flight caught fire at the Denver International Airport on Thursday, March 13, and 178 people had to evacuate to the plane's wings, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE.

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