Edinburgh flight's emergency landing as flames shoot from wing

Passengers on a flight from Edinburgh saw flames shoot from a wing as their plane was forced into an emergency landing minutes after take-off. Delta Airlines flight DAL209 to New York quickly diverted to land at Prestwick after suffering engine problems. Footage has emerged on social media of flames around the aircraft's wing. Shocked passengers reported hearing a loud bang before the plane was diverted. BBC Scotland News journalist Laura Pettigrew was on the flight. She said: "The plane took off and there was a loud engine noise, similar to the noise normally during take-off and landing, but it seemed to continue once we were in the air. The captain walked up the length of the plane and then there was a Tannoy announcement - although no-one could hear it. But we soon realised we were preparing to land. When the plane touched down we could see fire trucks and firefighters with hoses rushing towards us." She added: "We were told to leave all our belongings and get off as quickly as we could. There was no real panic among passengers, more just confusion. However some families with kids were pretty distressed."<br/>
