Fire Starts On Airbus Disney Plane Just Before Take Off

This footage shows a Mickey Mouse-themed Airbus passenger jet which was evacuated when a suspected fire started in its landing gear moments before takeoff.

China Eastern Airlines Flight 5312 was taxiing and prepared for takeoff when its main landing gear was found to be overheating at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport in China’s southern Guangdong Province.

Its departure - scheduled for 4:30pm local time on 11th October - was aborted and the Airbus B-6507 was recalled to the airport apron, with smoke seen rising from the bottom of the fuselage shortly after.
