Well, from that link:
”Pilots of an Air New Zealand plane turned back after take-off because they believed a wheel in the main landing gear had "made contact with an object on departure", a spokeswoman from the national carrier has confirmed”

Ah. They have obviously updated the link from when I posted it. Unfortunately, I cant change the title of the thread.
