Flames from a wildfire which has already burnt 20,630 acres of land in California could be seen raging directly above one of its airports. The skies above Santa Paula Airport were black with smoke in footage taken from the runway.

An engine failure on a passenger plane taking off from Sydney, Australia on Friday prompted the aircraft to circle before a safe emergency landing, the airline Qantas said.

A plane in Australia was forced to turn around just four minutes into its flight after passengers heard a ‘loud bang’ and felt a strong jolt during takeoff. The Qantas flight from Sydney to Brisbane earlier today had to make an emergency landing after suffering an engine failure as it left the ground.
