Passengers said they saw flames shooting from the same wheel assembly as the plane took off from New Jersey's Newark airport just after 5 p.m.
"Quite a few passengers saw the flames on takeoff," one passenger said.
The passenger who contacted the Sun, who didn't want to be identified, ...
... In Tuesday's incident, the plane landed safely but had to be towed to the gate. ...
... "The pilot was taxiing back when he noticed there was a loss of hydraulic pressure."
So the passenger knew about the problem on take-off, was ready with his video camera to film it, and sell it to the media - BUT NO-ONE TOLD THE CREW!
the pilot only knew about the problem taxiing in, when the hydraulic pressure failed!
No wonder he didn't want to be identified!
