haughtney man it's a sign you've been in Dubai for a bit too long, when you start thinking it's normal to put orange wedges on your beer glass ...

Whaddya think Jake the Muss would say if he saw that

Oh come on, Blue Moon hardly counts as a craft beer.

Luke..you can't get it in Dubai, and oranges are an intergral part of the brew..Mayday, of course it does, its just now got soooo popular all the micro/craft guys don't like that coors own the brand, still very craftish on my palate.

Blew a couple of RH Wing gear wheels on a classic once.. Lost most of our hydraulics. Shredded a sh*t load of stuff in the wing root area.

Nah mate, pay attention, this is about quality, not quantity!

And blue moon? Nothing but a cynical attempt at marketing to latch onto the craft wave. Like most of the 'craft' junk in liqourland; just a labeling exercise. But i digress; looks like the united crew did a good job! Kudos to the atc too, i hear it was pretty busy

Remember Concorde??? Tyre debris can fling up severing hydraulic lines and other impact damage. Obviously you wouldn't continue on esp across the Pacific Ocean

Can't go past a Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA.
And at 7.2% alc/vol, it doesn't take many to start getting p1$$ed!!!

What doesn't the 747 haven't any feature to stop the wheels from rotating as they retract? That way can't damage anything in the wheel well from rotating wheeling and shredded rubber
They do - they automatically apply a little pressure to the brakes when retracting the gear to stop the wheels.
The problem is that with the tyres shredded they have chunks of crap spread out all over the place even when stopped so as the wheels go into the bay they can still damage things inside.
Had something similar happen to me out of Shanghai a few years ago, did quite a lot of damage to a lot of things.
