Air Canada Airbus A330 rejects take-off at Brussels Airport
This morning an Airbus A330-343 (C-GFAJ) from Air Canada (AC833) rejected its take-off while building up speed on Brussels Airport runway 07R. During the rejected take-off both tyres on the right hand side bursted.

Air Canada flight grounded because of damage to wheels prior to takeoff
That could have been quite unpleasant had a subsequent landing been necessary.
A lot of force must have been in play to cause that amount of damage. Some sort of seizure?

To me it looks like the wheel has liberated itself from the axel, damaging the brake hydraulic lines in the proces, necessitating sand to clean up the fluids from the ground.
Removal of the tire/wheel the normal way usually requires some sort of jack which i dont see in the picture.

What damage are you referring to? Looks like the tyre(s) that burst following the RTO had already been removed by the time the photo was taken.
