		</div><p>The crash landing of a jet that caught fire on the runway at Miami International Airport with 126 people on board had passengers screaming and panicking, witnesses said.</p>
<p>“People were very frightened,” Red Air Flight 203 passenger Mauricio Davis told the Miami Herald.</p>
<p>“People were grabbing the seats to keep from spinning around.”</p>
<p>The fire started on Tuesday after the MD-82 jet’s landing gear collapsed on arrival from the Dominican Republic, Miami-Dade Aviation Department spokesman Greg Chin said.</p>
<p>Three passengers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, while the others were bussed to the terminal, Mr Chin said.</p>
<p>Passenger Paola Garcia said she thought she was going to die.</p>
<p>“I started running and I jumped, and I thought it was going to explode,” she told WSVN.</p>
<p>The plane came to a stop on the grass beside a runway, where it was doused with chemicals to put out the fire.</p>
<p>At least three firefighting vehicles responded.</p>
<p>Emergency crews reached the plane in a minute and a half, according to Miami-Dade County mayor Daniella Levine Cava.</p>
<p>“What happened here is a miracle,” the mayor told reporters.</p>
<p>Airport officials said in a tweet that the collapse of the front landing gear in the nose of the aircraft appeared to cause the fire.</p>
<p>Red Air is a low-fare airline that launched last November and only flies between Santo Domingo and Miami.</p>
<p>The airline has four McDonnell Douglass MD-81 and MD-82 aircraft and more than 50 employees, the Herald reported.</p>
<p>The National Transportation Safety Board posted that a team would arrive at the airport by Wednesday to investigate.</p>
