An engine of a Boeing 737 filled with more than 100 passengers suddenly exploded into flames

An engine of a Boeing 737 filled with more than 100 passengers suddenly exploded into flames after a rabbit got caught in its engine.

The flight, from Denver in the US to Edmonton in Canada was taking off when passengers reported feeling a loud bang - before fire shot from its right engine. The pilots were able to safely deal with the issue from the cockpit and the United Airlines plane was able to turn around and land back at the airport after the unusual wildlife strike. It is unknown currently how the rabbit managed to hop inside the affected engine.
