SEATAC, Wash. – An Asiana Airlines 777 that witnesses say had flames made a safe emergency landing at Sea-Tac Airport this afternoon. Video showed black smoke trailing from behind the plane as it circled for several minutes prior to landing.

Michael Trowell of Federal Way reported hearing “boom, boom, boom” and then seeing flames intermittently sputtering from one of the engines. "It came over my house," said Trowell. "it was very low and my wife called me outside and as I looked out I saw the plane pass overhead. There was flames shooting out of the left engine, bursts of flame not a constant stream, and then small explosions

"Quite a sight from Des Moines,” said witness Kevin James. "He definitely descended.”
