Overview
- Federal officials said several tires failed moments after touchdown, and first-responder audio indicated all eight rear landing-gear tires were blown.
- Flight LA2482, a LATAM Boeing 767-300ER from Lima, landed around 7:38 p.m. and came to a controlled stop as fire crews and mechanics surrounded the aircraft.
- Passengers were held onboard for more than two hours before deplaning by stairs to the tarmac and being bused to the terminal, and no injuries were reported.
- Travelers described a hard, shaking landing that opened overhead bins and knocked a bathroom door off its hinges, with local outlets reporting some tires appeared melted.
- The jet remained on the runway under inspection as the FAA and LATAM investigate; airport operations saw brief runway closures, and Delta clarified the flight was LATAM-operated.
