The clip shows a Blue Air passenger plane from Bucharest approaching the runway at Birmingham Airport on Tuesday and then touching down - but smoke soon engulfs it. The airport told MailOnline Travel that the wheel of the aircraft had 'locked' upon landing, while the carrier explained that the tyre subsequently overheated and had to be replaced. Shockingly, after landing, a FlyBe aircraft is also recorded touching down on the same runway - which the cameraman claims was not checked for debris until two other flights were on the ground.

The Dutch designers say that there are two species of Robird, a falcon, which can be used to chase off birds up to three kilograms and an eagle, which can see off any type of bird.

The owner of the farm says that unlike horses, dairy cows are less likely to react to scenarios around them than horses, meaning the risk of falling off is slim. Guests are able to get acquainted with their bovine in a short meet and greet, before putting on a helmet and saddling up for the unusual experience.

The Chinese Cemetery of Manila features a community of spectacular mansion-like tombs that are equipped with everything from kitchens to air-conditioning and bedrooms to running water - so relatives can be near to their deceased at all times. Many of these tombs are as large as a regular house - some even bigger - and while some family members spend a few days visiting, there are those who have made the cemetery their permanent address. With fully-functioning phone lines, flushing toilets and TVs and even a local restaurant, the cemetery operates like a fully-functioning neighbourhood (inset).

Airlines are often in the news under negative headlines, but sometimes they push the, well, boat out and do something that makes everyone's heart soar. The US captain who turned the plane around to pick up a grieving family and the British airline that flew a teddy bear 4,600 miles home after it was lost in an airport are just two examples of positive PR being pushed forward at full throttle. Here MailOnline Travel rounds up the ultimate examples of airlines turning on the charm.

The buildings are so impressive that they've become popular with tourists, artists and photographers, keen to step back in time to a golden age.

Pictures that emerged of the aftermath show a seat covered in blood from a passenger who suffered a 'nasty gash' and the aisle cluttered with cushions, food and rubbish.

The additional seats are only available on Keihan 5000 series locomotives.
