An American Airlines plane caught fire at Denver International Airport in Colorado on Thursday, sending passengers down emergency slides and onto the wing of the aircraft.

Axar.az reports citing ABC news, twelve were people being taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

The plane was traveling from Colorado Springs, Colorado, to Dallas, Texas, when it was diverted to Denver after the "crew reported engine vibrations," according to the Federal Aviation Authority.

While the plane was taxiing to the gate, the engine caught fire, and its passengers evacuated.

There were 172 passengers and six crew members aboard AA Flight 1006.

All passengers were able to exit the plane through emergency slides, the overwing exit and some onto the jet bridge.
