A near-tragedy was averted at East Midlands Airport on Thursday September 30, as a plane's tyres burst into flames following a botched landing.
The Sun
reported that the cargo carrier landed at East Midlands Airport after taking
off from Leipzig in Germany earlier in the evening.
Eyewitnesses
said the plane is believed to have 'ingested something' as it made its approach
in Derby. An eyewitness who shares pictures with Sky Scan World, said that
along with the dramatic flames, there was also a loud bang as the giant aircraft
touched down.
Though nobody
is believed to be hurt over the incident, it follows another earlier in the
week at Teesside Airport, which was forced to shut temporarily after an
'incident' involving a plane led to three passengers being rushed to hospital.
It was reported
that a pilot and two passengers who were onboard a light aircraft, were taken
to hospital after it is believed to have struck issues during take-off.
