 The passengers of a Southwest Airlines flight had to be evacuated on Tuesday when the tyre caught fire when landing at Houston Airport. The firefighters had to put out the flames as people were being removed from the aircraft through the emergency shute.

Gad...too good a situation to miss! Had I been flying this machine, there is no way I could have resisted the temptation to advise on RT:

"Houston; we have a problem!"

 Hey guys.

 

Someone can tell me why it happened?

 The plane landed with the brakes applied?
