An airplane carrying dozens of passengers from Scotland to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York made an emergency landing Friday after flames erupted from a wing.

A video of the terrifying incident showed massive sparks bursting from the aircraft as worried passengers cry in the background.

Passengers told BBC that they heard a loud bang not long after the plane soared from the Edinburgh airport.

The JFK-bound Delta Airlines flight DAL209 quickly diverted to the  Glasgow Prestwick airport located just 80 miles from the takeoff point.
