777-200 sheds a few parts
Incident: Delta B772 at Tel Aviv and New York on Jan 9th 2016, incomplete arrival
By Simon Hradecky, created Tuesday, Jan 12th 2016 21:51Z, last updated Tuesday, Jan 12th 2016 21:51ZA Delta Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration N703DN performing flight DL-408 (dep Jan 8th) from Tel Aviv (Israel) to New York JFK,NY (USA), departed Ben Gurion Airport's runway 26 and climbed out seemingly without incident and was enroute over the Atlantic several hours later, when a runway inspection the following morning discovered a couple of parts on the departure runway, that were subsequently identified to belong to N703DN. The flight crew continued the flight to New York for a safe landing.
may be a wheel hubcap and anti skid transducer ??

Looks to me as you say a transducer but the other part/s look look like a wheel bearing or spacer or both notice it is red pointing towards bearing grease but I maybe wrong as the picture is not the best.

Over here in UK if anything, such as a plastic bag or rabbit, is seen on the runway, an inspection is always called for... Maybe they do not have spare staff at that time of day.
