Thai Airways Flight 981 from Bangkok to Melbourne blew a tyre when it landed in a strong crosswind.

It became stranded at the intersection between two runways and started two small fires in the main landing gear. At least 12 planes were diverted from the airport or delayed.

There were 240 passengers onboard and Thai Airways said it blew two tyres. One report stated three tyres burst.
