LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A Philippine Airlines flight returned to Los Angeles International Airport Thursday after experiencing engine trouble, giving passengers a scare as flames belched from one of the Boeing 777's engines.

No one was injured on the plane, which had been bound for the Philippines. The jetliner returned to LAX about 11:50 a.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The trouble was with the right engine, according to the FAA.

Some passengers on Flight 113 reported hearing what sounded like a car engine backfiring, according to ABC7, which obtained passenger video of flames shooting from the engine.
