A terrifying experience was experienced by the 321 passengers of the Boeing 767-306ER in Phuket, Thailand, when the tourist plane’s engine burst into flames on take-off, as its tires exploded during take-off, causing the pilot to abruptly abort the departure.

A total of 309 passengers and 12 crew members disembarked and had to wait for a new aircraft.

These dramatic images of the fire were captured by passengers on their mobile phones while there were reports of a “loud bang” during the emergency landing.

One suspicion of the cause of the incident is that Russian airlines are allowing aging aircraft to operate without proper maintenance following harsh Western sanctions over Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.
