There is a ongoing situation at the airport of Madrid, a 767 of Air Canada had a burst tyre and an engine malfunction during take-off, the aircraft is currently circling over Madrid to reduce the landing weight while a F-18 of the Spanish airforce is inspecting the damage. They are preparing an emergency landing at Madrid right now.
The aircraft is a Boeing 767-300, without the non-standard fuel dump capability. The aircraft was supposed to fly from Madrid to Toronto, burning the fuel for emergency landing can take some hours, which means that the landing will take place at night. Not the best situation.
The aircraft made it quickly into the news because it was flying unusually low over Madrid.
