Remember the one that taxied out and the wheel rim fell off?? so as if by magic the inflated tyre was still gripping the remains of the wheel, there was a megga discussion as to what to do and at one point mention was made of shooting the tyre out, though concerns were mooted about richochets going up through the fuel tank!.......... I kid you not... I distanced myself from the proceedings at that point, in the end they dragged some SAC out of the wheelbay that had last serviced it, he ran in screwed a deflator in the valve and ran away, it went down and never shifted off the core of the wheel......

on a side note if you want to see a richochet in action meet the worlds luckiest man............. unless you know different
