Heavy Landing at YMML?
ABC is reporting:
Plane emergency shuts Melbourne airport
Flights have been temporarily suspended in and out of Melbourne Airport after a Thai Airways airbus landed heavily.
It is believed two tyres burst when the plane landed about midday AEST.
There was also a small fire in the undercarriage of the aircraft, which has been put out.
Air Services Australia (ASA) says the plane has come to a stop at the intersection of two runways.
Thai Airways marketing manager Sue Marr says it does not appear anything was wrong with the plane.
"I understand there were no injuries but the aircraft is grounded for the time being, until it can be checked thoroughly," she said.
