Frontier Airlines Plane Erupts In Flames In Nevada ... Tires Reportedly Blew Out

A Frontier Airlines plane caught fire and its tires reportedly blew out as it landed in Nevada over the weekend -- but, miraculously, no one was injured.

The commercial flight carrying 190 passengers took off from San Diego on Saturday and flew to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.

As the jet made its final approach to the runway, flames erupted underneath the fuselage, causing the cockpit to be consumed by smoke and the pilots to report there was an emergency.

Then came the plane's "hard landing," during which the "tires blew," according to CNN.

Video posted to "X" captured the flaming airliner rolling down the runaway until it came to a stop, leaving a trail of heavy smoke.

Clark County Fire Department trucks responded and sprayed the plane with water, putting out the flames.

All the passengers and flight crew escaped without so much as a scratch and were safely brought to the gate area.

The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the cause of the incident.

A Spirit Airlines flight appeared to lose its "spirit" when two women claimed they were booted by a male flight attendant -- for the crime of wearing crop tops.

The women told DailyMail.com they asked the male attendant what dress code rule they broke, but things quickly escalated. Before they knew it, they were kicked off the plane.

Yung Miami Diddy's Ex-GF Asked To Sign Baby Oil

Yung Miami found herself in a slippery situation when a fan asked her for an autograph on a questionable item: a bottle of baby oil!

Diddy’s ex-GF Yung Miami was leaving Saucy Santana's birthday bash at Atlanta's Opium Nightclub on Friday night when a TikToker cheekily asked if she could sign a bottle of baby oil -- all captured in a clip doing the rounds online.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

You can tell Yung Miami was not impressed -- she rolled the window up and went on with her night, while a man outside, likely security, stepped in, telling the fan to keep it moving.

The TikToker tells TMZ he figured YM would be at the party, and sure enough, she was -- signing photos and items for fans. But when he pulled out the baby oil and asked for her autograph, things took a turn and she beat it real fast.

As TMZ previously reported, court docs unsealed after Diddy’s arrest reveal that 1,000 bottles of baby oil were seized during March raids at his Miami and LA homes -- so no wonder Yung Miami wasn’t feeling that autograph request!

Remember, Yung opened up about her relationship with Diddy in August, clarifying he never got physical with her when they dated, unlike Cassie. She also mentioned that their relationship was mutually beneficial, boosting both of their careers.

Jack Doherty Crashes Custom McLaren On Stream ... Texting While Driving?

update

5:44 PM PT -- Kick ... one of his primary platforms ... confirms to TMZ that Jack Doherty has been banned following the crash.

"Kick does not condone illegal activity, which is why we swiftly took action and moved to ban this creator from the platform," the streamer told us.

JD got into a nasty car wreck while on a recent live stream ... and it appears the guy was texting while driving in the rain when it went down.

Here's the deal -- the 20-year-old internet personality was cruising down a slick Miami highway in his expensive whip Saturday morning while on the platform, Kick ... with the beginning of the now-viral moment showing him looking down at his phone while behind the wheel.

Doherty suddenly loses control of the vehicle, screaming as he smashes into a roadside railing -- and his cameraman in the passenger seat, who was capturing the whole thing, begins to moan in pain after the big hit.

Rashee Rice Car Crash Victims Hoping WR's Injury Leads To Lawsuit Resolution

The two people who say they sustained gnarly wounds in the Rashee Rice car crash earlier this year are now hoping the Chiefs star's own recent injury will expedite an amicable resolution to their impending lawsuit.

Edvard Petrovskiy and Irina Gromova said in court documents filed back in April that they suffered brain trauma, lacerations to their face, bruises on their bodies, as well as internal bleeding after Rice and his friend lost control of their sports cars on March 30 and crashed into their ride while speeding down a Texas highway.

CAUGHT ON CAMERA

Petrovskiy and Gromova asked for no less than $10 million in punitive damages -- but there appears to be no disposition to the suit in sight ... as court records show a trial in the case isn't slated to begin until June 2025.

But, Sanjay S. Mathur, the attorney representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement to TMZ Sports this week that following the wide receiver's knee injury Sunday ... he's hopeful things will now change.

"We are saddened to hear about Rashee Rice's injury on the football field and hope for his quick recovery," Mathur said. "We recognize that injuries can significantly impact one's life, causing both physical pain and mental distress. They disrupt routines, hobbies, daily chores, and activities. Injuries often lead to medical procedures and bills, and they can hinder one’s ability to earn a living."

"We are struck by the fact that Rice was injured at a time when the plaintiffs in our case against him are seeking justice for their own injuries," Mathur continued. "We hope that these recent developments will foster empathy, a resolve to seek resolution, and, most importantly, an acceptance of responsibility toward the injured parties in our case."

Rice, who has previously expressed remorse for his role in the wreck, was hurt while attempting to make a tackle following a Patrick Mahomes interception against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium. The extent of his injury has not yet been revealed -- although the Chiefs have placed him on injured reserve ... meaning he'll miss at least the next four Kansas City games.

Prior to his injury, the 24-year-old -- who's also facing criminal charges and a possible NFL suspension for his role in the spring car crash -- had been one of the best wideouts in the league ... totaling 24 catches for 288 yards and two touchdowns.
