Video shows a Frontier Airlines plane catching fire in Las Vegas
A Frontier Airlines plane caught fire and reportedly blew its tires as it landed in Nevada over the weekend, but miraculously no one was injured.
The commercial flight carrying 190 passengers left San Diego on Saturday and flew to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
As the plane finally approached the runway, flames erupted from beneath the fuselage, causing smoke to consume the cockpit and the pilots reported an emergency.
Then came the plane’s “hard landing,” which “blew its tires,” according to CNN.
KSAN-KLAS Border Flight 1326 just caught fire upon landing at KLAS.

The video on “X” captured the flaming plane rolling over the runaway until it came to a stop, leaving a trail of heavy smoke.
Clark County Fire Department trucks responded and sprayed the plane with water, extinguishing the flames.
All passengers and crew escaped without a scratch and were brought safely to the gate.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the cause of the incident.
