A Full Passenger Plane Caught Fire After Crash-Landing In Miami & The Video Is Terrifying

A plane carrying at least 126 people crash-landed at Miami International Airport on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., when it skidded along the runway and then caught fire due to the impact.

The plane's front landing gear failed and collapsed as it inched closer to the runway, which caused the crash, airport authorities told the Associated Press.

"I thought I was going to die," passenger Paola Garcia told CNN affiliate WSVN after the crash. "The plane was like jumping and jumping and jumping."

Luckily all passengers and crew members on board survived the crash. Only three people were left with minor injuries and were taken to the hospital to be treated.

The Red Air flight was arriving in Miami from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, when the front gear malfunctioned, causing the plane to lose control down the runway and crash through a communication tower before finally coming to a halt on a grassy area.

The chaos didn't end when the plane came to a stop. After the crash, the plane's left wing caught on fire, prompting firefighters to flood the scene and douse the vehicle with a white firefighter chemical, reported Sky News.

Video footage posted on Twitter showed terrified passengers climbing out of the crashed aircraft and running toward safety.

Not too long after the fire was ignited, the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue updated the public that they "placed the fire under control and are mitigating fuel."

"All souls on board have been assessed for injuries. A total of 3 patients have been transported to local area hospitals," confirmed the fire department in a tweet.

Although most news outlets are reporting there were 126 people on board, a statement by Red Air claims that the vessel was carrying 130 passengers and 10 crew members. The reason behind the confusion over the number of people on board is unclear, reported CNN.

Miami International airport tweeted about the incident and said that "some flights have been delayed as a result" of the crash.

"Please follow up with your airline for the latest flight info," the tweet added.
