MLB fans were en route from Texas to Boston for the ALCS when a near-tragedy ensued.

When the small plane was leaving the runway, it skidded and ran into a nearby fence. It then caught fire, and the footage showed a truly terrifying scene.

Check out some of the video:

Per TMZ:

“Twenty-one baseball fans headed for the Red Sox vs. Astros ALCS game in Boston were involved in a horrific plane crash Tuesday … but somehow, they all miraculously survived.

Officials say a McDonnell Douglas MD-87 carrying the nearly two dozen people attempted to take off from Waller County, Texas … but crashed before it could ever get off the ground.

Authorities say the plane skidded through a fence and caught on fire … and images of the aftermath are horrifying.”

According to the report, the group of MLB fans were able to evacuate the plane successfully. And even though two members on the plane had to be taken to the hospital, they’re believed to be just fine.

An investigation into why the plane caught fire is currently underway.

Game 4 between the Astros and Red Sox is tonight at 8 E.T. at Fenway Park in Boston.
