pictures. you can see crews are still working on that aircraft, dousing it with what looks like a foam they end up spraying on it to put out any lingering hot spots or fires that might be still coming from mathat engine. on right side, you re looking at the taped video we were able to get in earlier. live on right as well, guys? apolo apologies. live on both sides of your screen. you saw a picture moving past, moving towards that ambulance. a lot of moving parts here. we re obviously working to bring more detail also in. pamela s working her sources to get more details. we were, are going to take a break, more details about this flight, fire on that flight, sitting on the tarmac as it was taxiing, this flight heading to venezue venezuela. the extent of the injuries and really what happened here still unknown. we ll bring you back, more of this breaking news right after this break.
population of venezuelans, who are living here. who it would not be uncommon for venezuelans obviously to want to go back to their home country. we know ft. lauderdale is about a 45 minute drive from miami. it is a major airport. i m sure people are going to be asking questions about what happened with this particular aircraft. kate. absolutely, alina. stick with me. we ll get back to you as you are trying to learn more from the airplane and if we get any statement from this airline, we ll bring it to you. as we kind of sit on this image. there s another image from the side. when you see how burnt out that left engine is. you can see the black smoke if you will. the fumes. you can just imagine, that image right interethere, how terrifyit was. we don t know the extent of injuries. we re getting more information
are under control albeit a lot of unanswered questions. you re seeing some of the tape we ve been able to get in. of that aircraft. i mean, maybe it s just because i don t know, but i have not heard of dynamic airways before. we know obviously it s based out of greensboro. do you know anything more about this airline? it s a good question. because i have been, myself, trying to find out more about it. and we from what we ve learned just by going to the website, it is a worldwide airline. that goes, as we know, to various countries, including venezuela. it is based in greensboro, knock knock. their planes, we know they have a couple planes they rely on. boeing 767 is one of them. what we re looking at here is a boeing 76. it is a large plane that can hold more than 150 passengers. look at that black mess on the side of that plane.
international airport in caracas, venezuela. from ft. lauderdale. before this fire occurred in what we believe is the left engine according to wsvn. from here, once they make sure everything is doused, the fire is out, what they re going to do is move in and investigate, similar to what they did in las vegas, kate, when another plane caught fire, its left engine caught fire. so they re going to go in, investigate. first off, see what was the impetus. what caused this. and then also look to see is there something we missed along the way that should have been caught. of course, those are the big questions that are going to be asked. but for sure you bet, kate, there s going to be a lot of investigators looking at this. because the big thing, this is a boeing 767. this is a plane that is used commonly in commercial flights. so they want to make sure other ones out there are safe as well. you re looking at live
the engine. that s a key question here. because this is a plane, this is an aircraft that you obviously have to say, assume, they had just gone through their safety checks, were taxiing in order to take off. the flight was headed to venezuela. what could happen between the safety check list time before those procedures, to getting on the taxi way? sure. it s a good question. i have flown a 767. i have many hours, very very reliable aircraft. you know, one of the crew members, either the canptain or the co-pilot, if there was a substantial leak, it certainly would have been found. or the maintenance department, they generally contract out. this particular airline probably does with maintenance folks. they would have seen it. so something happened. in answer to your question.
