An Eithad plane with almost 300 passengers on board has been forced to abort take-off after its landing gear caught on fire and caused two wheels to explode.
Etihad Airways flight EY461 bound for Abu Dhabi was moments from take-off at Melbourne Airport on Sunday night when the drama unfolded.
Fire crews deployed firefighting foam as a precaution.
The Boeing jet has two deflated wheels and remains stuck on runway 34, which is currently closed.
