Plane carrying 126 people catches fire after landing gear collapses on Miami runway
Miami: A plane carrying 126 people caught fire when its landing gear collapsed on the runway at Miami International Airport, but no serious injuries were reported, said officials.
According to details, the dramatic incident took place when a Red Air flight arrived from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, said Miami-Dade Aviation Department spokesman Greg Chin.
The fire followed the collapse of that landing gear.
Authorities say that three people received minor injuries and were taken to the hospital for treatment. The remaining passengers were bussed from the site of the accident to the terminal.
The plane was arriving from Santo Domingo at around 5.30pm when the unfortunate incident took place.
Social media videos taken by other passengers landing at the airport showed the airplane had been doused with white chemical foam by firefighters.
