DHL Cargo Plane Catches Fire After Landing at LAX

A DHL Boeing 737-800 cargo plane, operated by Kalitta Charters II, caught fire Wednesday night after suffering a brake lockup upon landing at Los Angeles International Airport, according to reports. Witnesses said flames were visible from the left side of the aircraft shortly after it touched down. Airport rescue and firefighting crews responded quickly, extinguishing the blaze before it could spread further. There is no immediate word on injuries or the extent of damage to the aircraft. LAX has not yet issued an official statement detailing the cause of the brake failure or whether flight operations were affected. Authorities are expected to investigate the incident further as more details emerge. Cargo flight disruptions at major hubs like LAX can have ripple effects on shipping and logistics nationwide, particularly for time-sensitive deliveries.
