It blew 6 fuse plugs, someone tell where the energy from the brake packs is supposed to go when you land at a weight of approx. 400000kgs!

Airbus must have designed the A380 with the penalty in mind of melting a few wheels of an overweight landing, Hence leaving a couple of boogies without brake packs.

Maybe the extra packs would have adsorbed more of the energy, who knows?
