By Naheed Rajwani

An American Airlines flight from Mobile, Ala., was evacuated this morning after the pilot reported that the brakes were too hot when the plane touched down at DFW International Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration said the crew of Envoy Flight 3492 reported smoke in the cockpit shortly after landing at the airport about 7:45 a.m. Crew and passengers were evacuated after “possible flames” were spotted in a wheel well. The airport’s fire crews were sent to the runway to help. Despite reports of a fire on the plane, American Airlines spokesman Ross Feinstein said there was “no indication of a fire.” No injuries were reported, either. Maintenance crews are checking the aircraft to see if it’s OK to fly again, Feinstein said.
