Emirates A380 has "smoky landing" at YMML
Wow, no doubt about the quality of journalism (or is that an oxymoron) from the good old Herald Sun!

A few pearlers from the story:
"An Emirates spokeswoman said the smoke was caused by a tyre making contact with the runway."
“The engineers undertook a thorough check and found the smoke to be the result of a regular occurrence caused by a tyre which has not been in motion in the air, making contact with a stationary runway."
I'm not a pilot but isn't the general idea that the tyres make contact with the runway?
Cheers,
John
