Seventy-eight-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg evacuated a plane on an emergency slide Wednesday, after an engine fire before takeoff at Washington Dulles International Airport. There were nearly 200 passengers and crew onboard the United jet, which was scheduled to depart for San Francisco, but only one person was injured. Passengers allegedly saw smoke out the window as the plane was on the runway. Ginsburg has struggled with pancreatic cancer and an iron deficiency in the past.
