The report about the kenya Airways incident is exaggerated to say the least. Just spoke to someone high up in flt ops who said that it was a minor incident on KQ 432/29dec that safely landed at LOS. The rear tyre emmited smoke and the captain informed the control tower and fire fighters were stationed at the foot of the aircraft in case of any emergency. The passengers were discharged and the aircraft was towed to the gate. The problem was immediately fixed by the flight Engr and some ground staff with the capt and the plane boarded its passengers and they finally departed at 1330hrs. The flight touched ground at 1030hrs.
So much for sensational reporting!
