Plane's blown tire shuts BWI runway

May 7, 2009

Five crew members with minor injuries were treated after a military
charter flight blew a tire while landing at BWI Marshall Airport on
Wednesday afternoon, an airport spokesman said. Officials shut down
one of BWI's two commercial runways at about 1 p.m. while the 168
passengers disembarked from the World Airways DC-10 flight from
Germany, said BWI spokesman Jonathan Dean. Workers changed the tire on
the runway and towed the aircraft to the gate. The runway reopened at
about 3:30 p.m. "There was no significant impact to normal flight
operations," Dean said.
