Passengers of an American Airlines flight on its way to Miami, Florida were evacuated on the runway due to a fire incident, a flight tracking website reported on Sunday. Flight AA3023 was supposed to take off from Denver, Colorado, when a fire broke out in the left main landing gear (MLG) wheels during takeoff from Denver International Airport. A video posted by FL360aero on X showed smoke billowing from the plane on the runway as passengers were evacuated using an inflatable slide and quickly moved away from the jet.

The incident is the latest in a series of plane scares that caused panic recently. On Friday, two flight attendants on a Southwest Airlines flight departing Burbank, California, were injured after pilots took evasive action to avoid collision with another aircraft on takeoff. The flight sharply descended nearly 500 feet, according to flight tracking websites. Also, a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 737-800 operated flight made an emergency landing at Hamburg Airport on July 23 after the crew reported smoke from one of the engines mid-flight. Flight tracking websites said the plane, operating from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, diverted while cruising at FL380 over Danish airspace, approximately 140 nautical miles north of Hamburg. According to the International Civil Aviation Organization's most recent annual air safety report, the global accident rate stood at 1.87 per million departures in 2023. Meanwhile, Airbus data shows that of the nine hull loss accidents recorded so far in 2024 — none of which resulted in fatalities — only two occurred during takeoff.

What Really Happened on Queen Mathilde of Belgium's Flight amid Reports of an 'Emergency Landing'
Queen Mathilde of Belgium's trip to Costa Rica started with a slight scare. The royal flew to Costa Rica on Feb. 9 for a solo three-day visit organized through UNICEF. According to aviation news X account @FL360aero, a plane traveling from Amsterdam was given "priority landing" at San José Juan Santamaria International Airport due to a cracked windshield, sharing a photo of the damage. The plane made a safe landing at its intended destination about 15 minutes ahead of schedule. Later, reporter Wim Dehandschutter revealed he was on that plane along with Queen Mathilde. Although there were reports about the Queen's emergency landing, Dehandschutter said he wasn't aware of anything amiss until seeing the reports later. "I was on that flight. As passengers, we didn't notice anything, and we didn't receive any notification during the flight or upon landing," he wrote on X. Dehandschutter said in a piece published by HLN, "I was a bit surprised when I read reports in the local media and on X about the 'emergency landing.' " He added that there was turbulence on the flight and the landing was "quite hard" but "nothing alarming." It's unclear if Queen Mathilde, 52, was informed of the incident, but the royal was all smiles when she was photographed upon arrival. Queen Mathilde traveled on a commercial flight by FLM and sat in business class, according to HLN. The outlet reported that while King Philippe always travels on a military plane for security reasons, his wife was able to take the more traditional route during her solo trip.

Stowaway cat grounds plane for two days after entering electrical bay
Published February 12th, 2025 - 07:52 GMT The Boeing 737 was set to depart last week when crew members heard mysterious meows coming from inside the aircraft. Upon inspection, engineers discovered the culprit—a stowaway cat nestled deep within the plane's electrical bay. ALBAWABA- Passengers on a Ryanair flight to Germany faced an unexpected delay after a mischievous feline infiltrated the plane's inner workings, leading to a bizarre two-day standoff on the tarmac in Rome. Also Read Bashar Assad's son reveals details about fleeing Syria The Boeing 737 was set to depart last week when crew members heard mysterious meows coming from inside the aircraft. Engineers discovered the culprit upon inspection—a stowaway cat nestled deep within the plane's electrical bay. However, each attempt to retrieve the furry fugitive only sent it scurrying further into the intricate mechanisms, raising alarms about potential mid-air disaster. With no other options, engineers grounded the flight, fearing that the cat's presence could interfere with the aircraft's vital systems. A waiting game ensued. Instead of high-tech tools or elaborate rescue plans, the solution proved to be simple: patience. After two days of evading capture, the cat finally emerged of its own accord when a door was left open. With the feline fugitive finally gone, the plane was cleared for takeoff and successfully departed for Germany on Monday—minus one unexpected passenger. Cat caused chaos by boarding Ryanair plane just before departure: A stowaway cat caused cancellation of a Ryanair flight in Rome last week, that also led to a two-day grounding after the feline intruder started hiding inside the aircraft's avionics compartment.
