[1400px] Iberia 6012, from MVD to MAD, diverted to Fortaleza after a smoke indication in the crew rest area. The aircraft landed overweight at runway 13 but braked hard, causing a brake overheat on the left main gear. It rolled out of runway 13 and stopped on taxiway Delta, while the emergency vehicles arrived. The left main gear was sprayed with foam, this is why it looks kinda "frosted". The A330 was then towed to the terminal, with all 269 people still on board. Really dramatic situation, i've never seen such an emergency here in Fortaleza airport! The emergency vehicles followed the towed jet to the gate, althought they can't be seen on this pic. Scary stuff, but i'm glad the outcome was good! Photo taken handheld.
