No Jordanian plane crash - Israeli rescue service
Tue Jul 26, 2005 1:23 PM ET
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A Jordanian plane suffered a tire puncture upon landing at an airport in southern Jordan on Tuesday, an Israeli rescue service said revising an earlier report that the plane had crashed.
"This was not a crash. The plane's tire burst and the ruckus appeared like a crash," a spokesman for ZAKA told Reuters when asked about the incident near Aqaba, on Jordan's border with Israel. Jordanian airport officials said it was a cargo plane.

Yet another version (http://www.jordantimes.com/wed/homenews/homenews1.htm)
I'm taking bets whether the next version will allege that the aircraft was "trying to take off in reverse" ;)
