bits on runway!

It is still going to take a lot more than some pieces of rubber or fibreglass to knock out a NLG!
OK boys, who's airie arrived with "additional bits" embedded, besides a blown tyre.
Flat spotted, blown wheels are quite common on the old -200 freighters, no real dramas, other than self damage to plumbing or flaps n fairings.

secondly, w.r.t. that video clip, from someones mobile phone, it was, displays the 310 still hurtling down the rwy at that point, where it disappears behind the hangars and that is well into the last third of the runway end!! The runway ends opposite the hangars seen on the left.
God alone knows how he stopped on the runway, in such a short distance!
video speed playback could be sped up though, 'cos it's unbelievable.
