Haha so pretty minor then? News article made it sounds rather drastic. Bloody media.
Folks,
Twice I have seen aircraft burnt out as a result of brake fires (including a B747), it can be a seriously big deal. A dragging brake on an individual wheel can be a particularly insidious problem, it make be very hard for the crew to know they even have a problem, as brake temperature sensing/indicating on individual wheels, and any cockpit warning, is usually found on more recent large aircraft.
Capnmakka, what are you a Captain of, a harbour barge, you certainly don't know much about aviation.
Tootle pip!!
