The Boeing 767 had just arrived at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport from Lima, Peru, on Tuesday night when its tires suddenly blew out.

The plane landed safely and managed to come to a full stop, but the incident prompted a massive emergency response and delays on the tarmac, CBS Atlanta reported.

The Atlanta Fire Rescue Department confirmed to the outlet that its crews responded to the runway for “flat tires on an aircraft.”

Footage captured passengers exiting the plane directly onto the runway as workers inspected and stabilized the damaged landing gear, according to the local station.

One passenger described to 11Alive that upon landing, bathroom doors and panels broke inside the plane, and some insulation fell from the ceiling.

Passengers were still stuck on the plane until 9:40 p.m., roughly two hours after the aircraft touched down, she recalled.

After finally getting off the plane, she also noticed that the blown tires appeared to be halfway melted.

LATAM Airlines and the FAA did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Airport operations were able to continue with minimal disruption, and no injuries were reported amid the chaos, according to CBS.

The FAA will investigate the tire failure, according to reports.
