The landing gear of a Delta Air Lines jet, performing flight DL-2284, apparently caught fire during a rough landing Saturday afternoon at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), but the flight's approximately 50 passengers and crew were evacuated safely, authorities said.
Four people suffered minor injuries that did not require hospitalization, Atlanta city fire officials said. Passengers were evacuated through the L1 and L2 doors. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire with foam spray.
There were conflicting accounts as to what caused the trouble for Delta flight 2284 from Pittsburgh, which landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at around 4:18 p.m.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Kathleen Bergen said the MD-88 jet suffered either a blown tire, a locked-up brake or perhaps both, which caused a fire.
