Fire crews were forced to douse a commercial plane with foam after the landing gear burst into flames during landing.

The wheels caught ablaze shortly after the aircraft touched down on the tarmac.

Authorities suspect the brakes overheated during the landing process.

The blaze was extinguished and the passengers safely evacuated the Boeing 737 MAX.

The fire broke out after the Gol airlines plane landed at Galeão International Airport in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Saturday (17 May).
