Engine Fire on Plane Over Corfu: Eyewitness Captures Dramatic Footage

Corfu, Greece – On August 16, 2025, an incident involving a passenger aircraft was captured on video by an eyewitness in Corfu. The footage shows a plane flying overhead when one of its engines emits a bright flash and appears to catch fire. The individual recording the video can be heard expressing alarm, stating, "We heard repeated explosions and saw the turbine catch fire. It was very scary. We were on the balcony and saw it all. I hope everyone is okay." The aircraft, reportedly on a flight to Germany, was observed descending and turning after the incident. While the video shows smoke emanating from the affected engine, subsequent reports from comments on the video suggest the plane safely diverted and landed in Italy, with all passengers and crew unharmed. The exact cause of the engine malfunction, described by some viewers as a 'compressor stall' or 'engine surge,' is yet to be officially confirmed.
