Terrified Frontier Airlines passengers feared 'it was the end' as Puerto Rico-bound plane's wheel breaks off in hard landing
Briefly

A Frontier Airlines flight experienced a harrowing incident when one of its wheels broke off during a landing attempt in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Passengers reported that the landing felt fast and aggressive, causing one tire to tear away and ignite. The aircraft, carrying 228 passengers, had to circle the airport multiple times, with children crying and adults praying in fear. Fortunately, it successfully landed after a challenging experience, concluding a flight that took significantly longer than usual due to the incident.
"We were landing and it was very bad, aggressive and at a high speed. This caused one of the tires on the front of the plane to break and catch fire."
"For a few minutes, I thought it was the end of our story here on earth," Wharton wrote on Facebook, capturing the fear experienced by passengers during the incident.
