Summary
United Flight 102 from Houston to Munich returned to George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Friday after its right engine caught fire shortly after takeoff, with all passengers deplaning safely.
Robert Griffin III, who was aboard, said passengers heard "15 straight loud bangs" before the crew brought the aircraft back, and video he posted showed the plane at the terminal.
United said the flight landed safely, customers exited normally and the airline was arranging another aircraft to continue the trip to Munich.
Griffin, 36, retired after the 2020 NFL season and now works in sports media; his account quickly drew attention to the incident.
