The tire of a Boeing 737 burst during landing in Turkey, while another plane skidded off the runway in Senegal, leaving some passengers with injuries.
passenger planes were involved in accidents within a matter of hours of each other on Thursday, with one plane’s tire bursting during landing in Turkey, while another plane skidded off the runway in Senegal.
“Our plane just caught fire,” wrote Malian musician Cheick Siriman Sissoko in a post on Facebook that showed passengers jumping down the emergency slides at night as flames engulfed one side of the aircraft. In the background, people can be heard screaming. Also on Thursday, 190 people were safely evacuated from a plane in Turkey after one of its tires burst — “a failure of the nose landing gear” — during landing at a southern airport, Turkey’s transportation ministry said. No one was hurt.
Corendon Airlines flight XC1031, a Boeing 737-85R, suffered a failure of the nose landing gear after landing on runway 08 at Gazipasa Airport , Turkey.
