New Delhi: A FedEx cargo plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Newark Liberty International Airport on Saturday morning after a bird strike ignited one of its engines, sending plumes of smoke into the sky, said reports.

Despite the engine failure, the pilots managed to safely land the plane at 8:07 a.m., even as the fire continued to burn. Emergency crews rushed to the aircraft upon touchdown.
