Despite damaging two tires during takeoff, a Southwest Airlines plane was able to safely land at Dallas Love Field Friday. Dallas' director of aviation, Mark Duebner, said one outbound tire on the main gear exploded and a second tire was damaged when taking off for a flight to Austin, according to Dallas Morning News.

Southwest Airlines released a statement that said the pilot performed a "fly-by" of the Boeing 737, circling around the airport so officials on the ground could assess the damage to the underside of the airplane before landing. Ground crews had to change the tires before the aircraft could be moved off of the runway.

"The 125 customers and crew of five will be moved to another aircraft to continue their journey to Austin," the airline's statement said.

Dallas Fire-Rescue crews were on the scene at the airport, awaiting the flight's landing. However, the flight landed without incident.

Southwest Airlines' statement said the 125 passengers on board will be placed on other connecting flights for the remainder of their journey.

Earlier on Aug. 17, a pilot on a Southwest Airlines declared an emergency aboard a flight from Milwaukee to Orlando before landing Sunday morning. According to officials, there was a concerning electrical smell inside the cabin, causing the captain to raise the emergency status.

Declaring an emergency allows a flight to move up in the landing order to get on the tarmac sooner. The plane, carrying 127 passengers and five crew members, landed safely.

The aircraft was supposed to continue on another flight to Los Angeles, but a different plane was ordered to complete the next trip. Mechanics are investigating a possible mechanical problem that caused the smell.
