This is the moment a British Airways flight to London suddenly lost a wheel shortly after take-off from Las Vegas.
The right rear wheel can be seen separating from the Airbus A350-1000, before falling to the ground at Harry Reid International Airport. In a statement to the BBC, British Airways said: “Safety and security underpins everything we do and we are supporting the authorities in their investigations”.
Harry Reid International Airport said it was aware of an incident involving a British Airways flight on Monday’s departure for London, where it said the plane “landed safely without further incident”.
It said the tire was removed from the airfield, no injuries or damages were reported, and the National Safety Board was notified.
