A<\/span> Dominican airline plane carrying more than 100 passengers crash-landed Monday at Miami Airport after its landing gear failed upon touchdown.<\/p>\n

The aircraft ripped through a small building and a communications tower while skidding on its belly across the tarmac before bursting into flames.<\/p>\n

Three people were rushed to the hospital after the accident. The plane was carrying 126 passengers and 11 crew members.<\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration said the jet’s landing gear collapsed. It was part of a fleet by Red Air, a discount airline founded last year in\u00a0the Dominican Republic.

‘I thought I was going to die, actually,’ Paola Garcia told CBS Miami. ‘There was an old man next to me and I was hugging him. It was horrible.’<\/p>\n

‘We were bumping from side to side and all the windows like break and then everything’s fine. Then the people start running and running and I like jump and start running because there was fire and all that.’<\/p>\n

Footage taken from the runway showed the nose of the silver jet smashed to pieces as black smoke billowed from a fire burning on its left wing.<\/p>\n

The mangled metal of the communications tower could be seen wrapped around the burning wing.<\/p>\n

Passengers could be seen frantically exiting the fuselage, screaming as they fled the wreckage.<\/p>\n

Other footage showed the plane skid on its belly across the runway, then collide with the tower which exploded into flames.<\/p>\n

Passenger Balo Delgado said panic was quickly replaced by reassurance as he saw fire crews at work.<\/p>\n

‘Panic, almost panic. it was a terrible experience, actually, but like I said I feel safe,’ he told CBS Miami, ‘It happened like one minute and then you could see all the officers through the window doing their jobs.’<\/p>\n

Fire crews quickly arrived on the scene, dousing the burning wing with flame-retardant foam.<\/p>\n

The aircraft was a part of the RED Air fleet, and had arrived in Miami from the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n

The plane touched down at 5:38pm. Fire crews were dispatched at 5:39pm, WPLG reported.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Miami Airport said that flights were delayed due to the crash.
