At 7:56-8:10 the brakes appear intact. Looks like the axel nut came off.
No it did not. Pictures have been published of the axel of the incident aircraft after it landed at KLAX. See post number 47 just above.The axel nut and its locking bolts are still intact and installed. It appears either the wheel hub failed and/or the bearings disintegrated.
