For those on the dream fleet.

With a few 380s floating around the ME, thought it might be worth putting this on here, might save a WTF moment.

Hope the link works.

Cheers Enos!

OMG Rex!!!!! I am dying here!!!LMFAO

Glad to have the link, but really, a burst tire? There isn't a fleet around that hasn't suffered this mishap.

edit: I had to get on there and "troll" a little. Rare for me, but fun sometimes, especially considering all the crazy comments on there.

In the Malaysian incident the wheels bearings failed and then the axle sheared off - perhaps putting the nose down a bit more softly might help? ;)

Well you can't have a prune thread without SOMEBODY firing some shots, right?
