Video: Plane tyre explodes during take-off

This was the terrifying sight from a plane’s window after its TYRE exploded during take-off .The rubber wheel suddenly burst while speeding down the runway at Don Muang Airport in Bangkok, Thailand, on Thursday afternoon. Stunned passengers looked out of the window and saw the shredded rubber spinning round at high speed - just as the plane was ascending. Hair-raising pictures show the wheel of the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 twin-propeller aircraft suspended in mid-air on the domestic Nok Air flight to Nan province, northern Thailand. Passenger Nong Lek said: “It was scary to see the wheel like that. I’m sure the pilot was in control, but it was still a nervous time for the passengers. ’‘Everybody was talking and knew what had happened, which added to the excitement.
