An American Airlines flight aborted a take off just before it left the ground at Chicago's O'Hare International airport Friday and Indonesiathe ensuing chaos was captured from every angle by passengers.
SEE ALSO: Mike Pence's plane skids off a runway, and everyone makes the same jokeFlight 383, a 767 bound for Miami, blew a tire, forcing the pilot to apply the brakes. Flames quickly engulfed the plane — possibly as a result of the emergency braking — and passengers were deplaned via escape chutes.
Several runways at the busy airport were closed as a result.

Passengers were quick to post photos and videos from the incident.
One clip posted to Facebook by Hector Gustavo Cardenas showed the terror and confusion on passengers' faces as they rushed to exit the plane via an emergency slide before turning around to glimpse the flames under the plane.
Other videos on Instagram showed the scene from outside the plane, where people rushed to help those still coming down the slide while black smoke billowed into the sky.

Tell me why the fucking plane I was just on blew up on takeoff!?! Thank God I got off. Blessed man. So blessed. Scariest shit ever. Special thanks to the pilots and crew for getting us off safely!
Further footage posted to Twitter showed passengers standing around on the grass by the tarmac — some with their overhead luggage — looking on as emergency services rushed to the scene.

The event's capture on social media prompted another discussion about the reaction icons used by viewers, with some pointing out that Halloween-themed emoji are perhaps not the best response to a serious — and potentially but thankfully not fatal — news event.
Nevertheless, one news report's Facebook story gained several Frankenstein's monsters and some purple witches.
