Anybody got any genuine info on this incident? Blown tyre in itself is a wheel change but, I'd be interested to know if there was any damage to the flaps or fuselage if the tyre shredded itself to bits. Was it a nose wheel or main wheel?
Tyre on Qantas plane bursts in Sydney
Wednesday Jul 11 17:50 AEST
The tyre of a Qantas plane burst as it landed at Sydney Airport, the airline says.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft flying from Adelaide with 136 passengers on board landed in Sydney about 3pm (AEST) on Wednesday.
Qantas said passenger safety was not compromised by the blow-out.
"The aircraft landed without incident and there was absolutely no safety issue at any time," Qantas engineering executive general manager David Cox said.
"Emergency services were on standby as a precaution.
"The aircraft will be inspected and the tyre replaced before the aircraft re-enters service."
