Plane's Tire Catches Fire After Landing!

An American Airlines plane was quickly evacuated after landing at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Friday afternoon after a report of a fire.


One of the tires of the plane apparently caught fire after landing, officials said.

The Boeing 767 was evacuated via emergency slides, said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory.

Eight people refused treatment, according to Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride.

The flight, American Airlines 41, landed just after 2 p.m. and originated from Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport.
