July 28 ~ Carley, Chris, and Kellie

American Flight 983:

Shortly after landing in Guatemala City the captain came on the intercom. He said we had blown a tire and that the breaks had over heated so we might start to see smoke. We were stopped in the middle of the runway to wait for a fire truck. A man in a silver jumpsuit started at the damage for a while which made us all a little nervous. They turned the plane off and taxied us off the runway. Fire trucks came and sat as the man in the silver jumpsuit put on an oxygen tank and the pilots got off the plane to examine the damage. We un-boarded so unfortunately we never got to see what happened.
