An engine fire broke out on a Korean Air jet about to take off from a Tokyo airport Friday, forcing the evacuation of the plane and dramatic scenes of firefighters extinguishing the blaze. Firefighters put out the blaze within an hour, said Kyosuke Okada, a government official assigned to Haneda Airport. Korean Air said it will investigate the cause of the problem with the Boeing 777-300. The Tokyo Fire Department said 19 people were either injured in the evacuation or felt unwell after it, Japan's Kyodo News service reported. A different plane was sent to Haneda later Friday to transport the passengers, it said in a statement.
