A plane arriving from Santo
Domingo at Miami International Airport caught on fire after it made a crash
landing, tearing through a communications tower and a small building.
The
Red Air civilian transport aircraft made an emergency landing at around 5:30
p.m., Tuesday, after attempting to land at the airport and something went
potentially wrong with the landing gear.
·
UPDATE The runways 9 and 27 on the south side of the airport, near
the 836 Expressway, are currently closed.
About
140 people and 11 crew members were on board the plane.
The
MD-82 collided with several objects and steered off the runaway into the grassy
area between the runway and the taxi way.
A communications/radar tower that was standing in its path was taken out by the plane, along with a small building in the area. The tower could be seen wrapped around the right wing of the plane, where the fire also ignited.
