According to reports, flight 909 came to an abrupt stop soon after landing in St Vincent with eyewitnesses saying that there was a loud bang which came from the aircraft as it was passing the terminal building and then they also saw a lot of smoke coming from the landing gear area of the plane.
Soon after the incident, firefighters responded as the plane continued towards the other end of the runway before coming to a stop.
Sources have also confirmed that a local aviation maintenance company was engaged in replacing the tyres which got damaged on American’s twin-jet Boeing 737 MAX 8 in St Vincent, enabling the plane to continue providing its services.
