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.

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.

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.
