According to RT, the Boeing 737 had a flat tire on takeoff. What's going on? On July 1, a Boeing 737-400 airliner made a forced landing at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. The passenger plane carried 152 people. When it took off from Cologne, Germany, the tire burst, the highest level alarm was activated immediately; Israel sent rescue personnel on standby, and finally the plane landed safely, and some passengers were frightened. This is not the first time
On September 15, 2017, when a Boeing 737-800 (Registration No. ei-dlv, delivered in September 2006) of Ryanair took off from Stansted Airport, London, UK, a front wheel suddenly fell off. A crew member of the other aircraft was shocked by the situation and immediately informed the air traffic control personnel.
Ryanair's flight to Copenhagen, Denmark, with 184 passengers and six crew members, was forced to make an emergency landing after one of the front wheels fell off. The Boeing 737 was transferred to East Midlands Airport and police were on the runway next to M1 highway in case of disaster.
With the efforts of the hero pilot and crew, the plane finally landed safely.
The cause of the accident was the failure of the landing gear shaft, resulting in a wheel falling off, which may be related to the cracks and material properties changes caused by excessive grinding during the last overhaul of aircraft components.
