Saw this video a few months back and started a discussion on JetPhotos about it. A guy that works for AC posted some details on what had happened...

"Fin 684, AC036 rejected take-off at 155 knots as the flight crew received an Eicas message advising them of "gear failure". They elected to abort the take-off. Four tires were blown during the stop. The acft was never in any danger. The inspection found that a "gear seal' had failed."

Now im no pilot but on a flight that I was on (767 / MAN-ACE) the pilot told us that we would rotate at 190mph, which is around 165knts. Surely the AC would have to depart abit faster with the flight being so long?
