A Frontier Airlines flight experienced a hard landing at San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, resulting in the loss of a front wheel and visible fire. Passengers expressed trauma from the incident, leading the airline to issue $500 vouchers and refunds. The plane, an Airbus A321neo, circled before landing safely after a go-around due to mechanical issues. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the event left passengers, including Melani Gonzáles Wharton, recounting a terrifying experience filled with panic and fear. The incident is currently under investigation by the FAA.
"When we touched down, it was so strong that we jumped. The tire at the front of the plane broke. I don't know if the tire hit the left engine, which was where I was sitting. It sparked, and fire started to come out."
"Inside, we were crying, children were shouting, people were praying. It was an unforgettable, horrible experience. I'm traumatized."
