Newly released video captures the evacuation of passengers from a Boeing aircraft following a sudden tire blowout during landing. The incident took place at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia, US, involving a LATAM Airlines flight from Peru. The Boeing 767-300ER was surrounded by fire engines post-landing, with an investigation underway to determine the cause of the tire blowout.
Passengers onboard experienced a loud banging noise and violent shaking as the plane touched down. Liza Karseno, a passenger, expressed gratitude for surviving the ordeal, emphasizing the importance of safety over belongings. Some passengers documented the damaged tires and interior of the plane following the shaky landing.
Emergency services swiftly evacuated everyone from the plane without any reported injuries. The Atlanta Fire Rescue Department responded to the incident involving flat tires on the aircraft. The Boeing 767-300ER is commonly used by LATAM Peru for long-haul flights between Lima and Atlanta, accommodating up to 221 passengers.
In a similar incident last August, a British holidaymaker recounted a tire explosion during takeoff on a TUI flight from Corfu to Birmingham. The passenger praised the crew’s response and the pilot’s professionalism in safely landing the aircraft despite the tire issue. The rarity of such incidents was acknowledged, highlighting the importance of safety protocols in aviation.
