That's on the 75 bluepilot.

Normal brakes come off the right system DOVES with alternate brakes from the centre. There is also a reserve brake system coupled with the reserve steering system and as a final back-up the brake accumulator.

Thanks Spanner Turner, I could see all the loose pipes and guessed it was a module connected to the centre system.

This is a scenario often practiced in the sim. It is not difficult to imagine that a damaged tyre flailing about near a load of hydraulic fittings may cause a problem.

The interesting question remains; how come they landed and vacated the runway successfully but then went off the side of a taxiway quite some distance further on?
