First responders in Atlanta rushed to an airport runway Tuesday after an aircraft experienced a harrowing landing failure, with all eight of its landing tires bursting the moment the plane touched down, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

LATAM Flight 2482, a Boeing 767, landed at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Tuesday evening after a seven-hour flight from Lima, Peru.

According to Fox 5, citing a flight expert, the unusual incident may not have been the result of a hard landing, but a possible malfunction in the aircraft’s automatic braking system.

Images from the aftermath revealed dislodged cabin panels and a bathroom door torn from its hinges, according to the local station.
