Plane catches fire while landing at East Midlands airport
East Midlands, UK.
I haven't followed plane activity much in the past, but I don't ever remember them falling out of the sky / having birds fly in the engines / spontaneously combusting etc in quite such high numbers as recently.
Good point!
