Cathay said the injuries occurred during the evacuation process, as passengers exited the aircraft using five emergency slide doors.

"Nine of the eleven passengers treated at the hospital have been discharged," they said. "Our colleagues will continue to support the two hospitalized passengers and their families."

Cathay said they sincerely apologize for the disruption to customers.

RTHK television, citing police, reported that one of the plane's tires overheated, causing it to explode.
