[Berman:] Terrifying moments for passengers and crew members onboard a British Airways jet in Las Vegas. Flight 2276 was powering up for takeoff at the McCarran International Airport when the left engine burst into flames. Look at that. This is how one passenger described what happened.
[Jay Jennings, British Airways Passenger:] We were just getting speed to take off and just heard a big thud, I opened up the cover of my window and just saw flames on the engine. We suddenly start. We sat still for about a minute. Just waiting to hear what to do. And then we just heard the captain says it's an emergency. Evacuate.
[Reporter:] How scary was it?
[Jennings:] It was pretty scary. Yes. Like, I mean, yes, it was more shock than anything. I don't know, yes, it was pretty scary stuff.
[Berman:] What an interview, as he's being wheeled into the ambulance there. There were 159 passengers, 7 crew members onboard. Fire officials say 14 people suffered minor injuries requiring transport for medical car. Most of those injuries happened as passengers slid down emergency slides to exit the aircraft. Fire officials tell CNN that the flames from the engine never breached the cabin. Still terrifying. No word yet on what caused the fire.
[Romans:] City officials in Baltimore today are expected to approve a settlement with the family of Freddie Gray. It means the city accepts all civil liability in the arrest and death of 25-year-old Gray, who suffered a spinal injury while in police custody back in April. Now, this proposed settlement doesn't acknowledge any wrongdoing by Baltimore police, six officers will be criminally tried separately in connection with Gray's death.
[Berman:] More than a week after Illinois police officer Joe Gliniewicz was gunned down, three suspects are still at large. Police investigators are following nearly 200 leads. At a news conference, authorities said that the gun Gliniewicz's gun was found at the scene. They also said three people seen on surveillance video were involved in the killing. That's a big change. Since Friday night, I was talking to authorities there, and they said they were on the verge of a breakthrough based on a surveillance video. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
[Romans:] Wow. All right. Sixteen minutes past the hour. The heat wave has been baking parts of the Midwest and the East Coast. It's about to end. Let's get to the meteorologist Pedram Javaheri.
[Pedram Javaheri, Ams Meteorologist:] Good morning, Christine and John. Look at the temperatures from Tuesday. Record temps shattering some records that have been standing for 94 years. Central Park, 97 degrees. Previous record from 1919 was 93. Very easy to pick on how far we're above the normal. For about 20 degrees above the normal. And, of course, much of this September, a September to remember, the temperature trend generally into the 90s, when he should be into the upper 70s, peaking in Central Park at 97 degrees yesterday. Good news is we do have a front that is cruising across the Midwest, sparking some showers and thunderstorms around Missouri, northern Arkansas, with it, cooler air gets here some time later this week and the jet stream also take a nosedive. So, we kind of really set this cool pattern at least for a little bit beginning Friday into Saturday. Some showers and thunderstorms possible Thursday night into Friday around New York and Boston. But look at the trend, 90 to 78. You have been dropping below average. How quickly things change by 72 degrees by week's end. And New York City also taking a dramatic drop in temperatures there into the Upper 70s by week's end, with your high temps, today still staying pretty toasty, about 90 in New York, 94 in Washington, D.C. guys.
[Romans:] Ninety in New York.
[Berman:] It hasn't rain since 1987. My lawn has no hope.
[Romans:] The lawns look horrible, look horrible.
[Berman:] Yes.
[Romans:] All right. Eighteen minutes past the hour. Thousands of migrants pouring into Europe, government split over what to do, the European Union meeting right now. Major speech about what the priorities of Europe should be as this crisis unfolds. Live team coverage, next.
