A video has captured the dramatic moment sparks shot from a plane’s landing gear at Dublin International Airport in Ireland.
A “full emergency” was declared on the airport after the arrival of the Ryanair flight from Liverpool, England on Sunday afternoon, local time.
The fireplace brigade and ambulances were called to the Boeing 737 aircraft.
Dublin Airport confirmed passengers were in a position to disembark normally once given the all-clear from the hearth services, but air traffic into the airport was restricted in the course of the incident, delaying flights.
One person was treated for shock. There have been no injuries reported.
Ryanair told the Irish Examiner in a press release that the flight “experienced a minor technical issue with its nose landing gear upon landing”.
“Passengers and crew disembarked normally and the aircraft will shortly be towed back to the hangar for further inspection by Ryanair engineers,” the airline said.
Video captured by Airports Live TV and uploaded to YouTube showed the sparks coming from a wheel under the nose of the plane while it flew across the runway.
Michael Kelly, an aviation photographer from Dublin, shared a photograph on Twitter of what he said was the nose landing gear after the incident.
It appeared to point out one tire was completely missing while the opposite in the image was damaged.
Dublin Airport said the south runway on the airport remained closed on Sunday night as a result of the emergency.
