A passenger aboard Continental Airlines Flight 1404 described a scene of panic as the plane skidded off the runway while trying to take off and caught fire Saturday at Denver International Airport in Colorado.

“Everybody was trying to get off the plane,” passenger Gabriel Trejos told CNN affiliate KUSA. “Everybody was yelling, ‘The plane’s going to blow up, the plane’s going to blow up!”’

Only one of the 38 people taken to hospitals was listed in serious condition and none appeared to be burn victims, said Patrick Hynes, chief of the airport division of the Denver Fire Department. Bone fractures and bruises were the most common complaint, he said.

Trejos said when the plane hit the ground, he saw an engine on fire and seats buckling toward each other.

“It just seemed like it took forever for the plane to stop,” Trejos said. “On my side of the plane I could see the engine, I noticed it was on fire. I could feel the heat coming from the window.”

The flight was bound for Houston, Texas, and was taking off at about 6:20 p.m.

Firefighters found the Boeing 737 on fire, with its wheels sheared off, resting in a ravine about 200 yards from the runway, Hynes said.

“They described a surreal scene when they pulled up, heavy fire on the right side of the aircraft, all chutes deployed from both sides of the aircraft, people evacuating and walking up the hillside towards them,” Hynes said.
