Perhaps it'll just "disappear" in true authoritarian-communist style. The last pic of the one guy trying to put the fire out with a jacket is priceless. It's probably the Air Koryo pilot - he'll no doubt have hell to pay when he gets back to the Fatherland!!!

I'm confused by this - shouldn't there be some fire trucks or something? Do any of those people on bicycles possess firefighting gear? Anywhere else on Earth and a fleet of foam trucks would be there already.
I'd swear that was a 777, with the triple-truck landing gear, other than the captain trying to swat out the fire with a uniform jacket. Or for all we know, maybe he is fanning the flames...

If it was BJS why didnt they have fire engines ??? Seems a bit weird to me . If it was in North Korea it wpuld be understandable . At least it seems the fire was put out and hopefully it will be up and flying again soon .

Aren't they using one on the first picture?

How about checking the report and the other pictures as well? You will see, that PEK does have fire engines as well, and yes, also in the DPRK they know what fire engines are.
It looks to me like the order of the picture is wrong on the quoted website. I also doubt that the guy with the jacket would be any crew member. If it happend just after the landing I assume that the crew and the pax would still be inside the airplane?!

For any of you ARFF experts out there, here's a question. If the tires rupture due to the heat, Mr. "Blanket Fire Extinguisher" could be killed, right?
Release your seat-belts and get out! Leave everything!

I actually think its very sad !! I know that the USA has its views on North Korea but if it was a AA 777 would we see the same ''funny'' comments!!!! I think not .

Maybe the jokes wouldn't have a "third world country" twang to them, but there would definitely be jokes. I don't think you'd see an AA or airport employee trying something that stupid.

If anyone was swating a fire with a sportscoat I'd be laughing, I don't care which airline, what country or what continent. That is funny.
25 Works4boeing: Why doesn't he just pee on it? A few months ago, there was a picture of an AA 777 with the captain leaning out the window to grab some paperwork from
26 OA260: Yeah thats what i meant . They are a facsinating airline. So much mystery surrouds them . They are like Interflug in the cold war. Is this one of the
27 Aa757first: I think they just fly to two cities in China from Pyongyang. IIRC, they discontinued the one domestic route they had because gas prices were just too
28 Clickhappy: A.net photog Weimeng got a great shot of the action...check out the crew bailing out of the aircraft to put the fire out, not a n emergency vehicle in
29 Swissgabe: Beside PEK they also fly from FNJ to SHE, VVO and they resumed a weekly service to BKK. Serviced to KHV have stopped less then 1 year ago. Since long
30 777fan: Yeah, they're certainly hauling ass toward the main assembly! Perhaps the briefcases had "firefighting equipment" in them! You'd think that with all
31 AsstChiefMark: Counterfeit US currency to pay the PEK fire brigade.
32 Bimmerkid19: Wow! Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!
33 OA260: That has to be the madest photo I have ever seen . Those guys must be N Korean diplomats or CIA or something.
34 Dreamflight767: So after the fire started, these guys ran out of the a/c to fight the fire. What I don't see/understand, did the fire department ever show up to help?
35 BigJimFX: My sentiments exactly! It looks, from the pictures, that the fire is coming from the brakes. If thats true... ( I have heard, and cannot confirm....)
36 OV735: Unless the ladder isn't telescopic, which it doesn't seem to be, it's unlikely they could fit it into the aircraft, i.e. it was probably brought ther
37 MH017: No wonders Air Koryo has been blacklisted by the EU and not allowed to operate to/from and in the European Union...these kinds of mishaps makes you wo
38 EI321: The codes for the nukes in the cargo hold, what else?
39 BeechNut: It would take them 50 years to tally up enough flights to make any meaningful statistical comparison to a Western or Asian airline; sounds like they

44 MD80fanatic: Looks like overheated brake linings to me. I distinctly remember a testbed 777 with bogies blazing away after a manual braking test. Honestly, has any

46 Meister808: I'd agree, I noticed immediately how clean the wheels were - I don't think I've ever seen wheels that clean. -Meister
47 Aa757first: If you read reports of people that actually flew the airline, it would be pretty obvious why they aren't considered safety oriented. Some trip report
48 MDorBust: Just a wee bit too much on the drama scale there buddy. The plane didn't crash, no one got hurt. Take a deep breath. This is so keystone cops it's fu
