Passengers on a flight to Texas were forced to slide down emergency chutes after a tire caught fire as the plane landed in Houston.
Despite the dramatic footage Southwest Airlines spokesman Paul Flaningan said no one was injured.
Flaningan said the tire blew around 7:50 p.m. Tuesday as Flight 519 from New Orleans landed at Houston Hobby Airport.
He said the fire was contained to the tire. Television footage showed passengers deplaning via emergency chutes.
Flaningan says there were five crew members and 47 passengers on board.
