Some injuries.

Fifteen people were injured when an airliner caught fire while taxiing to a runway in Fort Lauderdale.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office said an engine caught fire on the Boeing 767, which was getting ready to depart for Venezuela.

One person sustained serious burn injuries, two were less seriously hurt and the remaining twelve had bumps and bruises, county officials told a press conference.
Officials said there were 101 people on board the plane when it caught fire. Meanwhile, one runway had been reopened.

“We’re still being impacted by the incident here. But the good news is that we’re going to start to gear back up and flights will resume,” Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport spokesman Greg Meyer said.

Video images circulating on the internet showed a large cloud of black smoke pouring from the plane. Other images showed a fire-damaged engine under one of its wings.
