According to Australian media “9news” and “7news” on the 6th, an Etihad Airways passenger plane flying to Abu Dhabi had a tire burst during takeoff on the evening of the 5th, causing the takeoff to be aborted. Fortunately, no one was injured. When Etihad Airways flight EY461 was preparing to take off at Melbourne Airport at around 6:15 p.m. on the same day, two tires on the plane suddenly burst. There were 289 passengers on board. After the accident, all passengers were safely evacuated, and no injuries were reported. The airline then arranged an alternative flight for the passengers, which took off smoothly two hours later. Some eyewitnesses said they had seen sparks or smoke coming out of the landing gear at the time of the incident. Etihad Airways later issued a statement confirming the incident. The statement mentioned that due to severe tire damage, the accident plane could not be towed off the runway, and maintenance work will be carried out directly on site. The aircraft in question was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. (China News)
