A Boeing jet operated by Peruvian Airlines caught fire while landing at an airport near the Andean town of Jauja in central Peru after it swerved on the runway. The Boeing 737-300 jet drove off the runway for unspecified reasons during the scheduled landing, after swerving to the right. Video posted to social media Tuesday shows a Peruvian Airlines passenger jet on fire at Francisco Carle Airport in Jauja, Peru, located about 165 miles east of Lima.
The video, which was posted to Facebook, shows several workers tending to the plane as thick black smoke billows toward the sky. It is said that the aircraft caught fire as a consequence of the "forced landing". Firefighters at the airport put the fire out. All 141 passengers on board were evacuated from the plane; none were considerably injured, the airline said. Here in the video we can clearly see how horrifying the situation was.
