This is the terrifying moment passengers looked out of their plane window to see propellers not spinning - after an engine caught fire.<br /><br />The Nok Air twin-propeller aircraft carrying 84 people took off from Sakon Nakhon, Thailand, at 3.10pm but just ''two minutes'' later its engine was engulfed in flames. <br /><br />Hair-raising footage shows smoke still coming from the plane's engine charred black around the engines with the farmer's fields visible below at an altitude of around 5,000ft.<br /><br />Power to the engine was cut - leaving the Bombardier Dash 8 Q 400 to make a swift u-turn and perform an emergency landing at the airport it had just left.<br /><br />The co-pilot can be heard telling passengers that there is an ''engine failure'' and apologising for the inconvenience. It landed at around 3.25pm some 15 minutes after take-off. <br /><br />One passenger described how the aircraft ''shook slightly'' during the fire and feared that something ''much worse'' was about to happen.<br /><br />Fellow-flyer Wee Boonsena said: ''We had just taken off and about one or two minutes later suddenly there was fire coming out of the exhaust of the engine. <br /><br />''This happened two times about 5,000ft high and it was a bit scary.<br /><br />''But thanks to the training of the pilot and the professionalism of the crew it was handled safely. <br /><br />Nok Air confirmed that the plane made an unscheduled landing.
