There was some unexpected excitement Monday morning at Orlando International Airport as a Delta Air Lines flight preparing for takeoff was suddenly evacuated after flames erupted from one of its engines — just as hundreds of Jewish families were crowding the terminals, heading home after the Yom Tov of Pesach. Delta Flight 1213, an Airbus A330 bound for Atlanta, had 200 passengers, 10 flight attendants, and two pilots on board when the frightening scene unfolded. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), flames were seen shooting from the tailpipe of one of the aircraft’s engines shortly before departure.
