In an unsettling incident, a Canadian airport witnessed chaos as an airliner declared an emergency during its landing attempt.

A fire erupted on the Air Canada plane as it slid down the runway. Fortunately, there were no major injuries, although the dramatic situation left many shaken.

The incident unfolded at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, leading to the airport’s temporary shutdown. The Air Canada flight, originating from St. Johns, caught fire due to malfunctioning landing gear.

The plane, operated by PAL Airlines, shared more about this alarming event. Comparisons were drawn to a previous disaster in South Korea where a passenger plane hit a concrete wall, leading to tragic fatalities except for two surviving crew members.

Further reports revealed how the aircraft tilted to around a 20-degree angle to the left, contributing to the incident.

The noise was deafening, resembling that of a crash, as the wing and engine dragged against the pavement.

Eyewitnesses recounted how the plane shook intensely, with flames visibly spreading along the left side as smoke wafted through the cabin windows.

The plane skidded down the runway in a chaotic scene, as pilots made desperate attempts to regain control. Once halted, reports confirmed that passengers were evacuated quickly and emergency personnel rushed to douse the fire.
