747 tyre "explodes" at Melbourne.
Seems a Singapore Airlines 747 landed hot into Melbourne and stuffed a tyre. The Air Services spokesman charged with reassuring the public said that "the plane landed more quickly than the pilot had thought it would." Aeroplanes sometimes trick pilots that way!
The AS bloke added that "the pilot applied extra brakes and a tyre exploded." Aren't autobrakes supposed to prevent that sort of thing happening to tyres?
Anyone at Tulla see it happen?
