None of the 221 people on board were injured, but passengers were stuck on the plane for about two hours; some reported a very rough landing and interior damage (broken bathroom doors, panels and loose insulation). Retired pilots and aviation experts called the mass tire failure unusual, suggesting a possible brake-system malfunction that could have locked the brakes, while others pointed to factors like aircraft weight, temperature-related tire-pressure changes, or tire age.The FAA has opened a formal inquiry to determine the cause.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>All eight of the rear tires of a Boeing 767 jet burst when a LATAM Airlines plane landed Tuesday at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.<\/p>\n<p>The Boeing 767-300 was coming in at around 7:30 p.m. from Lima, Peru, when the&nbsp;tires burst, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5atlanta.com\/news\/expert-brake-issue-likely-caused-all-8-tires-melt-latam-jet-atlanta\">WAGA-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As the plane landed, one passenger told the station it felt as though the wheels were &ldquo;rattling on the tarmac.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>None of the 221 people on board were reported injured, but they were stranded for two hours before they could get off the plane.<\/p>\n<p>Retired Delta Capt.
