Plane catches fire and bursts into FLAMES upon landing at major American airport in terrifying footage

Tyler Herrick, who recorded the incident while on board another plane getting ready to take off, posted the videos on X and wrote: "Frontier flight 1326 from KSAN-KLAS just caught fire on landing at KLAS. I caught it on video as it landed."

In a second video he added: "Firefighters sprayed the aircraft with foam, according to @liveatc they’ll be evacuating by stairs (not blowing any slides)."

In his final video as his plane was taking off, Herrick wrote: "Bye Frontier! Hope you get some new tires soon. Glad to hear no reports of injuries."

Frontier Airlines said their pilots detected the smoke and declared an emergency, but it's unclear if they knew the severity of the fire.

Emergency services were already at the scene when the plane landed, suggesting that the pilot had informed ground staff of the situation in advance.

Thankfully no injuries were reported and all 190 passengers and seven crew members were able to disembark safely.
