Just one mistake after another.


Maybe things have changed since my day, but don't the crew tackle a wheel fire anymore? We had to train for that, but who knows these days.

Pax very near to the presumably very hot wheel as the first spray goes on. This is the most lightly moment of wheel fragmentation. Or has metallurgy changed as well.

What a mess.
