More tori as  Dailymail report am : Photos and video from the scene show the Dynamic Airways plane engulfed in thick black flames around 12:30pm before airport firefighters came and extinguished the fire with a white foam. The fire has since been completely extinguished and everyone safely taken off the plane.

Broward County fire officials say fourteen people were injured, including one burn injury







'I'm told one of the engines caught fire as the plane was taxiing, getting ready for departure,' airport spokesperson Greg Meyer told WSVN.

A pilot taxiing behind the plane alerted air traffic control that the plane was leaking fuel right before it caught fire.

'There's fuel leaking out of the left engine,' an air traffic controller says.

'Engine's on fire! Engine's on fire!' he says moments later.

The plane was on its way to Caracas, Venezuela, and charring on the aircraft suggests the fire started in the left engine.

The Boeing 767 carries between 180 to 290 passengers, but its unclear how many were actually on the plane at the time.

Following the fire, the airport was closed and flights were being diverted to other airports nearby.

The FAA released a statement saying: 'Dynamic International Airways 405 apparently caught fire on Taxiway B while taxiing for departure from Runway 28 Right at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, at about 12:45 p.m. An aircraft taxiing behind the Boeing 767 reported that fuel was leaking from the aircraft before the fire started. Passengers evacuated via slides onto the taxiway.'
