? Electrical Problem ?

Perhaps not relevant to this B757 case --

??? Electrical problems???

From slot#1:
“... diverted to ORD due to electrical problems ...”
Excerpt from press story in slot #10:
“... arrived at O'Hare about 1:45 p.m. and blew a tire as it touched down; the aircraft skidded ...”
In past examples of skid / tire-failure, an electrical problem had subtly depowered (failed) the Antiskid input to Brake System. No problem, unless (large aircraft) a pilot needs to apply any brakes during landing roll-out.
