Overview
- The Boeing 767-316ER operating flight LA2482 from Lima touched down in Atlanta at 7:38 p.m. local time when eight central landing-gear tires failed almost simultaneously.
- Emergency crews evacuated passengers and crew onto runway 26R and temporarily closed the runway for cleanup and inspection, with authorities reporting no injuries.
- The FAA opened an investigation to determine whether a braking-system malfunction or the severity of the landing caused the tire ruptures.
- LATAM identified the aircraft as CC-CXF, which has been removed from service in the United States for comprehensive structural inspection.
- Images and on-site reports show shredded tires and some cabin damage, including a detached lavatory door, as firefighters and technicians inspected the aircraft.
