From the Courier mail
A QANTAS jet caused alarm at Brisbane's domestic airport today when smoke poured from its landing gear as it touched down on the tarmac.
A spokesman from Qantas said the smoke had been caused by hydraulic fuel leaking onto the tyres of flight 969 from Townsville as it landed at 7.30am.
He insisted there was no danger to passengers.

Smoke poured out the back of a Qantas 737 aircraft as it landed at Brisbane airport this morning after experiencing hydraulic problems.
The flight from Townsville, carrying 129 passengers, experienced problems about 7.40am and landed without incident.
Smoke could be seen coming from the rear of the plane as it landed. It is understood hydraulic problems could be to blame.
All passengers were kept on board for at least 10 minutes while the plane waited on a taxiway to be towed to the terminal. No one was injured in the incident, a Brisbane Airport spokeswoman said.
The plane was scheduled to land at Brisbane. The incident was likely to cause slight delays to departing flights this morning.
Engineers were inspecting the plane this morning to determine the cause of the emergency.

Smoke seen pouring from Qantas jet
A QANTAS jet caused alarm at Brisbane's domestic airport today when smoke poured from its landing gear as it touched down on the tarmac.
A spokesman from Qantas said the smoke had been caused by hydraulic fluid leaking onto the tyres of flight 969 from Townsville.
The smoke did not impair the landing and the plane touched down at 8.02am.
The spokesman said passengers were kept informed at all times about the problem.
The flight was supposed to take off for Mt Isa at 8.35am but the plane remained grounded for closer inspection.
A second plane was used for the service to Mt Isa which departed at 9.05am.
