Passengers aboard American Airlines Flight AA3023 were safely evacuated at Denver International Airport (DEN) following a runway incident involving the aircraft’s landing gear fire during takeoff yesterday. The scheduled flight from Denver (DEN) to Miami International Airport (MIA) aboard a Boeing 737 MAX 8 experienced a tire-related malfunction that led to an emergency response and minor injuries, with one passenger transported for treatment.

The aircraft, carrying 173 passengers and six crew members, was evacuated after a landing gear problem triggered a safety response from the Denver Fire Department and airport authorities.
