A United Airlines flight from Houston to New York was evacuated after an engine issue was reported before takeoff, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Hundreds of passengers were forced to evacuate on slides during a snowstorm after their Delta flight aborted takeoff from Atlanta due to an engine issue Friday morning, the airline said.
Authorities said one passenger was treated for burns after a seat caught fire from the burning phone. Another was reportedly injured during the evacuation.
Chaotic video from one of the passengers shows a chaotic scene as people went down the slide.
"While they are all unrelated, I want you to know that these incidents have our attention and have sharpened our focus," United CEO Scott Kirby said.
