A Spirit Airlines plane caught fire while landing in Atlanta after its brakes overheated and ignited, officials say

The plane caught fire as it landed at the Atlanta airport.

The passengers were evacuated and no one was hurt.

One of the brakes on the plane overheated when it landed in Atlanta. The plane was towed to the gate and guests were not injured.

The Atlanta airport said that the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department successfully extinguished the flames after the plane's brakes caught fire.

Passengers were able to disembark from the aircraft at gate D2. Airport officials said the incident won't affect operations.

"After we landed it made a strange noise from the left side of the plane," Scottie said. We stopped in the middle of the landing strip to not know what it was. There was a flame coming from the engine.

There is smoke and flames on the underside of the plane.
