That Caravelle incident is a comlete "Red Herring.
The Caravelle performed a high-speed rejected take off, then taxied for a second attempt. The brakes were too hot before the second take off run, and the wheels "let go" well after retraction.

Remember, it takes 20 minutes after final brake release for the brakes to reach maximum temperature.
