All very well piling up on stand looking the hero after dodging the school by wrestling with the controls, only to have a fuse melt, then catch fire and blow half the airport up because your parked right next to a brand new A380 thats just started refuelling

Ie think of parking remote just for a while.
Overly draumatic, we had a classic 747-f operator that allowed the fools driving to use max autobrakes on a dry worm rwy, allways want to make that 1st high speed turnoff. I used to give a wide birth to the sidewalls of the tires just because I was afraid of one spitting molten metal at me. Once one thermal plug popped we could have counted on another 4-5. Point is I have seen alot of tyres thermal and never seen one catch fire and even if it did I would trust the boys in the red truck to be on it well before the fire became a threat to the aircraft.
