Passengers rushed off flight in Denver after reports of smoke and fire

Passengers aboard a United Airlines flight from Kansas City, Missouri, to Denver, Colorado, had to be rushed off the plane on Tuesday after reports of smoke and fire under the aircraft, according to a statement from Denver International Airport. No injuries were reported, according to the airport's statement. "United flight 1658 from Kansas City landed normally in Denver and proceeded to the gate," United Airlines said in a statement. "Due to smoke indicating that brakes may have overheated, some customers exited the plane using the slides while others deplaned using the jet bridge." Passenger Adrian Hartwell shot video of passengers getting off the plane and the flight crew urging them to leave their bags on board. Denver Fire Department responded at the gate and said on Twitter that firefighters quickly put out the small fire.<br/>
