Different media report now claiming no burst tire and no fire on board, smoke only after the gear-up landing. Unusual sounds mentioned.

(RTL.lu - Lėtzebuerg - Kee geplatzte Pneu, kee Feier, enorme Materialschued in Luxembourgish)

Which then (as others mention) begs the question: why would an experienced flight crew decide to abort take-off after gear-up when they were only 50nm from their home airport which they were due to fly to (SCN being an intermediary stop on a HAM->SCN->LUX route), in a plane they had just previously flown from HAM to SCN and which was on the ground for maybe half an hour to unload PAX?
