The pilot of an aircraft traveling behind Dynamic International Airways Flight 405 reported fuel was leaking from the aircraft before it caught fire, the official said. The fire occurred about 12:30 p.m. on the airport's north runway.

Passengers evacuated the jet via emergency slides onto the taxiway.

The airport was closed as emergency officials responded, airport spokesman Allan Siegel said.

Audio from the air traffic control tower caught one of the pilots saying, "The left engine looks like it's leaking a lot of fuel. There is fluid leaking out of the left engine."

I used to fly out of this airport all the time when I lived in Broward County. It's a little on the shabby side, so I'm not surprised they had a fuck-up like this.
