A cargo loader burst into flames Monday at Hong Kong International Airport, injuring the machine's operator.
The incident took place right before a cargo pallet was set to be loaded onto an American Airlines Boeing 777-300ER.
Video posted on social media of the fire shows the blaze a few feet away from the right rear cargo door of the plane.
As a result of the incident, American Airlines Flight 192 to Los Angeles was canceled and the aircraft was taken out of service. Its passengers have been transferred to other flights.
"An external piece of loading equipment had a mechanical issue and caught fire while preparing to put cargo in the hold of American Airlines flight 192 from Hong Kong (HKG) to Los Angeles (LAX)," an American Airlines representative told Business Insider in an email statement. "As a result, a pallet on the loading equipment containing non-hazardous goods also caught fire."
