A Dominican flight caught fire after experiencing an apparent gear failure while landing at Miami International Airport.

Red Air Flight 203 departed Santo Domingo at approximately 15:00 and performed an uneventful approach to landing. After touching down on Runway 9, the MD-82 veered to the left and skidded into the grass area that separates Runway 9 from the intersecting Runway 12-30. The aircraft’s left wing impacted an airport antenna structure, including a small building near it. The structure impacted the jet’s right wing at which point a fire erupted. All 140 passengers and 11 crew members were safely evacuated, but there are reports of some minor injuries at this time.

Red Air is a Dominican airline which operates a fleet of McDonnell Douglas aircraft, consisting of three MD-82s and one MD-81. The aircraft involved in the accident was an MD-82 with registration of HI1064. It was previously operated by Venezuelan-based Laser Air.

We have reached out to Miami International Airport authorities for comment. At press time, we had not yet received an answer.

A good evacuation and emergency vehicle response time.

Plenty of hand baggage coming off there. Anyone taking off hand baggage in an emergency evacuation is endangering the other passenger's lives. They should face imprisonment.

On one side I agree with you....however....I have my whole life and my business on my laptop. It goes EVERYWHRERE with me.... If faced with the same situation, I suspect I would carry my hand luggage containing my laptop with me.... It did not seem they were in a huge rush to get off that airplane...

Impact was so severe that it pushed the engines from under the wings to the back of the aircraft and bent the tail up.

I saw one guy in the video dragging two rollaboards behind him.
Quite a few others with daypacks.

Hence why I like Bermuda shorts with large external pockets.
