BA A380 Lands with Square Tire

BA-32 Lands with Square Tire.

Incident: British Airways A388 enroute on May 5th 2016, the square tyre

Novel idea, but I think a conventional parking brake or wheel chocks are a more practicable solution to the requirement.

First time I've seen a round peg in a square hole.

Looks like my half empty water bottle after descending into LHR. Pressure differential phenomenon IMO, compounded by runway patting.

Unbraked wheel on six wheeled bogie so not something you'd normally see !
