Posted by terRAPIN station on Fri Feb 5 08:41:34 2016 'It was a big jolt'...all 158 on board safeTwo tires blew out on an Allegiant Air jet as the plane landed Wednesday afternoon at Lehigh Valley International Airport, but none of the 158 people on board was hurt, officials said. "The left main tires blew out when it landed," LVIA spokesman Colin Riccobon said. "The plane stopped safely and all the passengers are being deplaned and brought to the terminal." The plane, a fully booked McDonnell Douglas MD-80, was coming in from Orlando, Fla., when it touched down on a wet runway at 5:46 p.m., according to Allegiant Air. "It was a big jolt," a passenger from Bethlehem said. "You heard the first tire go. And another jolt, you heard the second one go. We felt it and then we smelled it. "It kind of felt like they slammed on the brakes a little too soon, but they did a pretty good job bringing the plane to a stop." Allegiant spokeswoman Kimberly Schaefer said Thursday the tires did not deflate at the moment the plane touched down, but moments later during the plane's "roll out" on the runway.
