PASSENGERS WERE DISEMBARKED from a Ryanair flight on the runway of Dublin airport today, following an issue with the plane’s tyres.
In a video of the incident captured near the runway, passengers can be seen exiting the aircraft, assisted by members of Dublin Airport’s Airport Police and Fire Brigade.

A spokesperson for Ryanair said that FR1959 from Nice landed safely in Dublin at approximately 2.15PM before encountering a problem with its tyres.
“Passengers disembarked and were transported to the terminal by bus.
“The aircraft was towed on stand at 17:10 and is currently being inspected by our engineers in line with normal procedures,” they said.

I’m glad someone recorded it, I’ve never seen people get off a plane before
They got off the aircraft on a taxi way. Aircraft were still landing on the runway.
@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: also, “evacuated by Dublin Fire brigade” !?!?! That’s really shoddy journalism. Not a hint of fact checking. There is a dedicated fire and rescue stationed at the airport with specialized trucks. They are NOT Dublin Fire brigade. The pic alone should give the author of the “article” a hint….. Never seen one of those rolling around putting out house fires!!!!!
@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: ……* the video alone* should give the author of the “article” a hint…..
@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec:
It happens all the time with these young boy and girl Journalists. They are a disgrace to the profession.
@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: who cares ?
@Max: so why haven’t the journal offered you a job ?
Ryanair….very unusual for them to have a hard landing!
@Louise Marie: Ain’t that the truth. You just hold on to anything you can with a Ryanair landing
@Louise Marie: no worries, sure hasn’t the boss got loads of hot air to blow on every problem!
Didn’t know that Ron Swanson was writing for The Journal!
Yet more sensationalist reporting of a minor aviation incident by a reporter who doesn’t have any grasp of the basic facts.
It better than the 2mile walk
It’s the new way off on the runway and other people get on and go
Don’t understand – no smoke or flames.
How could this have happened. MOL is full of hot air!
They are the pits, very dangerous.
@Áine G: Dangerous how? How many lives have been lost flying with them?
@Michael Burke: Lots of high court claims, mostly from people slipping of the disembarkment stairs in frost.
have your say
