Miracle as plane lands safely at Heathrow despite losing a WHEEL before take-off without anyone noticing
The pilot on the Air Canada flight from Montreal to Heathrow is not believed to have noticed the rear tyre had fallen off and was shocked after being told on landing. Incredibly, the captain still managed to land the Boeing 777-300 without a problem and there were no injuries... (www.aviationfigures.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Miracle? You can land aircraft without a wheel, especially if it's on the MLG. If you lose more than on, especially if it's on the same truck, THEN you're in trouble.
At the beginning of the article, it's a plane losing a wheel "before take-off" then under the picture it is "midflight" and at the end the wheel was found in a fence. Maybe it is not even a plane...

it's a MIRACLE all hale the god of aviation.
So...Where's the story? The link does not take me to it!
Does The Sun not have anyone there who knows anything about aviation? It makes us wonder just how accurate are any other stories in any other field;... medicine, law enforcement, politics, science, etc.
I was sort of expecting this writer to state the reason for the incident was : "no flight plan filed" or something equally distant from reality. These people must be absolutely terrified of flying where they rely upon "miracles" to get them to their destination.
