An American Airlines flight was forced to abort takeoff at the Denver airport on Saturday after a landing gear malfunction led to fire and smoke on the runway. An emergency evacuation followed, and all 173 passengers were safely taken out. One person suffered a minor injury, authorities said.
AA-3023, operated by a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, was bound for Miami when the incident occurred. It suffered a maintenance issue with the tire, the airline later said.
