what's hapen whith JAL????
This was one of those new lithium ion tires right?
LOL, I needed a good laugh...
WOW.. Go Figure... I am surprised they were able to land at all... UGH.. Non-News event... I deal with crap like that all day long...
The way it usually goes for me is:
Crew - "I appears that we have the #4 tire low" -
Me - "No problem (get the logbook info), I will have a mechanic out there shortly"
Mechanic - "Tire Looks Good", "Added some air good to go", "We need to change the tire"....
All non-reportable events, as long as he does not get tow'd off the runway....
We did gave one that blew a tire on take off roll... Tower advised him of it, he continued to a base station, notified me via ACARS, and I had mechanics waiting for him.... They changed the tire on the ramp, and taxied to the gate", was reportable, but no emergency declared... Only damage to the a/c was the wheel hub that was coming off anyway.

Actually correction.. They changed the mating tire as well (after getting to the gate).
Meanwhile, the was a massive bugstrike in the central United States that obscured a critical part of the captain's view during final approach. Using skills obtained from 1000's of hours of flying, he was able to shift his head slightly to the side and somehow managed a safe and controlled landing. All passengers and crew walked away from the incident. The bug was scraped away using Windex...
