"Damn geese!" Brink captioned the post on Facebook."First time seeing a fire and being involved in an emergency landing!" American Airlines did not provide details about what caused the emergency landing but attributed the incident to"a mechanical issue" in a statement to CBS News. "The flight landed normally and taxied safely to the gate under its own power," the airline said."The aircraft was taken out of service for maintenance and our team is working to get customers back on their way to PHX. Safety is our top priority and we thank our customers for their understanding."
