According to Australian media such as NewsCom, at around 6:15 p.m. on the 5th (local time), an Etihad Airways flight 'EY461' that was going from Melbourne Airport to Abu Dhabi Airport in the UAE exploded with two wheels while attempting to take off.
At the time, the plane was running on the runway at about 300 kilometers per hour for takeoff.
When the wheel burst, the captain applied the emergency brake and stopped the plane.
The airport fire brigade immediately dispatched and sprayed firefighting foam to prevent the fire, so there was no fire.
All 289 passengers on the plane got off and safely returned to the airport terminal.
The aircraft with broken tires remained on the runway as it could not be towed, which led to one in two Melbourne airport runways being closed until the following morning.
The airport said "No flights were cancelled, but some flights were disrupted", he explained.
The plane in the accident is known as the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.
