New incredible footage has emerged of the panicked evaucation of an American Airlines passenger plane on the tarmac at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.

The footage begins as screaming passengers spring out of their seats and make their way down the aisle, with cabin crew members urging them to "get out".

Frightened holidaymakers and commuters manage to escape the plane down the aircraft's emergency exit inflatable slide – only to be met by the incredible scenes on the runway.

As they run from the plane, they look back and see thick black smoke engulfing the airliner as a fire takes hold on the wing.

The passenger filming the incredible footage looks into the camera lens and just repeats "oh my god" over and over again.

Seven people people were reportedly hurt after the blaze at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.

Heavy smoke was seen billowing from the aircraft in alarming photos taken at the incident on Friday, October 28.

Some tweets claim "part of the right wing" was "completely burned".

Alarming pictures show the plane's right side charred a dark black.

Flight 383 bound for Miami was forced to abort takeoff because of a punctured tyre at around 2.35pm local time, it is understood.
