DHL Cargo Plane Skids at LAX with Fire | California News
Description
A DHL cargo plane suffered a fiery landing at LAX late Wednesday night, with flames erupting from under the aircraft as it touched down around 11 PM. Loud pops—possibly tire-related—were heard during touchdown, and while the fire quickly died down after the plane stopped, emergency crews rushed in to douse the flames. The plane, arriving from Phoenix, was reportedly experiencing brake issues according to the pilot’s radio transmission, though no official cause has been confirmed. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and airport responders acted swiftly to contain the incident. Authorities from LAX and DHL are now investigating, but for now, this dramatic event serves as a sobering reminder of the risks—even for cargo flights—in the world of air travel.
