Hot brakes give passengers a scare

RALEIGH -- An American Airlines flight landing at Raleigh Durham International Airport had some kind of mechanical problem Friday. Smoke began pouring from the wheel brakes right after it touched down.

Crash trucks responded to the plane, but no passengers were in danger. The aircraft later taxied to Terminal 2 where the passengers were allowed to get off.

Officials say the plane is a Boeing 767 that was coming in from London.
