Passengers are seen running across tarmac as they flee jet after 'landing gear caught fire'
Passengers have been spotted running across the tarmac at an airport after the 'landing gear' of their plane caught fire.
Smoke could be seen coming out of the landing gear as it taxied along the runway before takeoff of flight TK243 from Istanbul.
Terrified holidaymakers were filmed using the emergency slides of the Boeing 777-300ER.
It has been reported that all 247 passengers and 13 crew members were safely evacuated and the aircraft was towed to a secure area.
Turkish airlines have been approached for comment, while an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
