AAL590 Blown Tire on Takeoff from KTPA
« on: July 11, 2024, 12:52:47 UTC »
AAL590 had just started their takeoff roll when a tire blew out on the right-side wing landing gear.  Video of the incident clearly shows the tire blowing out at a fairly high rate of speed but the crew rejected the takeoff and turned left off the end of the runway.  They stopped there and waited for emergency equipment to arrive.  No injuries were reported and the passengers deplaned safely and the flight was cancelled.
