Meanwhile, Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue spokesman Mike Jachles says 15 people were taken to the hospital after the fire on the Dynamic Airways Boeing 767. One suffered burns that were not life-threatening while the rest suffered less serious injuries such as bumps, bruises and sprains.
Jachles now says there were 110 passengers onboard. The 767's left engine caught fire as it taxied for takeoff for a flight to Venezuela.
