A Singapore Airlines plane bound for Milan caught fire while making an emergency landing at Singapore's Changi Airport early Monday morning.

The Boeing 777 was on its way from Singapore to Milan when it turned back "following an engine oil warning message."

Flight SQ368 landed at 7 a.m. local time, touching down more than four hours after takeoff.

Dramatic video from inside the plane captures the right wing engulfed in flames, which would ultimately be extinguished by ground crews.

All 222 passengers and 19 crew members were evacuated safely, according to the airline

Passengers were transferred to another aircraft that was to depart for Milan later Monday, the airline said.
