Smoke rises from under the seats of a Myanmar National Airlines plane shortly after it lands without the use of its front wheel. The plane landed safely on Sunday at Mandalay airport despite the landing gear problems. Passengers scrambled to evacuate as instructions were given over the speaker system. The airline said in a statement that flight UB103 came from Yangon and the pilot flew around the air traffic control tower twice in order for staff to check if the landing gear had been activated before the decision was made to make an emergency landing. The statement also said the pilot followed emergency procedures and dumped extra fuel before attempting to land.
