The Tibet Airlines flight, carrying 113 passengers and nine crew, was headed from the southwestern city of Chongqing in China to Tibet&#39;s Nyingchi when the crew noticed &quot;abnormalities&quot; and &quot;suspended take off&quot;, causing the jet to overrun the runway and catch fire, an AFP report cited Tibet Airlines as saying.</p>
<p>
A video shared on social media showed flames engulfing the wing of the airliner and terrified passengers running away to save their lives.</p>
<p>
Tibet Airlines claimed all passengers and crew were safely evacuated. The airline admitted that some passengers were injured and have been hospitalised.</p>

This is the second major mishap in Chinese aviation after a China Eastern flight plunged from 29,000 feet into a mountainside in March, killing all 132 people on board.</p>
