The plane landed safely. Everyone aboard remained unharmed.
American Airlines Flight AA192 had a little bit of an issue while standing prior to takeoff Oct 9 2017, earlier today. As the Boeing 777 was being loaded, the container loader malfunctioned, resulting in a fire. The fire spread, and burned the cargo container. The plane was scheduled to fly from Hong Kong-Chek Lap Kok International Airport to LAX in Los Angeles. According to Flightradar24, the flight was cancelled. (I expect so!)

The airline confirmed the incident saying, “the flight had taken off for Mumbai at around 1650 hours (US time) and landed back at Newark (US) after being airborne for about two hours due to violent vibrations in one of the engines of the Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft.”
There were more than 250 people aboard at the time; all of them remained safe.

What: Fully fueled American Airlines Boeing 737 flight 924 en route from Rionegro to to Miami
Where: emergency landing at Rionegro airport (Jose Maria Cordoba) near MedellÃn
When: 9:50 AM flight
Who: 148 passengers
Why: Passengers heard an explosion, after which the crew was concerned that the full plane would not make it over the mountains. They turned back with a fire in one engine, and the crippled plane not climbing as it should.
The plane circled the airport for half of an hour prior to the successful emergency landing. Though successful, the landing was not uneventful as the heat from braking actually fused the brakes, leaving the plane immobile on the runway. The passengers were successfully deplaned on site via stairs and ported from the runway to the terminal by bus.
No cause has been given for the initial engine problem, but the American Airlines crew is to be commended for a near-miraculous safe-guardianship of the welfare of the passengers.
The plane was carrying thousands of pounds of fuel.
What: Jetblue Airbus A320-200 en route from Ponce Puerto Rico to Orlando,FL
Where: Ft. Lauderdale

The flight made a safe landing.
Medical services was awaiting the passenger, who was transported to the hospital, after the safe landing.
