WATCH: DHL Cargo Plane’s Tires Catch Fire During Emergency Landing at LAX

A cargo plane’s tires caught fire late Wednesday when the aircraft touched down at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

The DHL jet was making an emergency landing as it flew in from Phoenix, Arizona, around 11:00 p.m. when the flames were seen sparking and growing more intense in the darkness, ABC 7 reported Thursday.

Loud popping sounds were heard moments after the plane touched down, and that was when the sparks and flames were seen coming from beneath the jet as it slowed down.

“I don’t know if we blew a tire but it feels like the brakes locked up,” the pilot said over the radio. When the plane came to a stop, flames were seen on one cluster of tires as emergency crews rushed to put them out, according to an Airline Videos clip:

One runway was temporarily shut down as crews quelled the fire that left some of the jet’s tires severely damaged.

Officials have not yet said what caused the fire, and so far no one has reported anyone being hurt during the incident, per KTLA.

Video footage from ABC showed a closer view of the plane’s four damaged tires, and they appeared to be completely deflated:

LAX was in the news in April as authorities with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) opened an investigation after a plane, that was traveling at low speed, nearly smashed into two trucks on the ground as there were 217 passengers and seven crew members on the flight, UPI reported.

“The close call came weeks after an Air Canada jet struck a fire truck on the ground at LaGuardia Airport in New York City, killing both the pilot and co-pilot,” the outlet said.
