Post landing fire at Toronto airport

On the 2d of August in 2005 A 340 belonging to Air France performed a scheduled flight from Paris to Toronto. After touching down at Toronto airport the aircraft failed to stop, overshot the end of the RW, burst into flames and came to rest in a small ravine 300 meters from the RW.

It was reported that before landing the aircraft was banking from left to right (probably because of severe turbulence and gusting wind). The weather at that moment was marginal: severe winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms. It contributed to the fact that the plane touched down the RW further than it was necessary and thus overran it. (The RW the plane was cleared to land was the shortest at the airport- only 2700 meters)

All 297 passengers (including 2 infants without seats) and 12 crew members were successfully evacuated. Some of them sustained minor injuries. Post crash fire destroyed the aircraft.

China Airline On Board Fire

On the 20^th of August, 2007 a B 737 belonging to China Airlines was performing flight 120 from Taiwan to Japan.

 The plane landed at destination airport. But while the aircraft was taxing to the gate some flames coming from the right engine became visible. The captain ordered emergency evacuation. All passengers and flight crew managed to leave the aircraft safely through the 4 hatches using slides. Flight crew evacuated through cockpit slide windows. In some seconds right engine and fuel tank exploded and burst violently into flames, igniting a blaze that totally destroyed the traffic.

    During the flight there was not report about fire. The investigation team confirmed that the aircraft caught fire in the gate area. They revealed that the bolt, which had come loose from the slat tank, had punctured the right wing fuel tank creating a hole 2-3 centimeters in diameter. It caused fuel leak that resulted into fire and then explosion.
