Video of actual wheel coming off

Not sure what happened in the rangestorm's content, but it appears to only be the "aftermath."

This is the video of the actual wheel coming off during the landing.

@cosmicviewer477 but notice how nothing bad happened after it :) (airplanes are built to take most anything.)

What is with the photo at the end? That has nothing to do with the rest of the video.

Canadian crap

@MyAccount4TrollingU There should be an I.Q test for people like you, and on subject matter before people like you decide to troll on it. Go ahead, attack my grammer, that may be all that you know, I'm sure that you would respond but your mother is calling you downstairs for dinner....go eat little Johnny before your food gets cold. Unless you have turned wrenches on a canadian built machine for atleast 5 months, then shut the fuck up....

@AdverbAdjective I know, such good machines, its a shame that this A&P couldn't even change a tire properly. Do you work on any Dash 8s?

Colgan Air is one fucked up operator .

@MyAccount4TrollingU You don't know very much about the Dash-8 family of airplanes, do you?

[AdverbAdjective]

canadian made planes...

I know it was dangerous but I can't help but to find it comical.

@aaporte1

What picture at the end... o.O the sun media? ...

@MyAccount4TrollingU no, Fucking mechanic, its their fault, I have replaced wheels on the Dash-8 before, its easy to mess up if you don't know what you are doing. But as for the brake snapping off, yeah still the mechanics issue. DHC-8s are reliable airplanes; this was a mechanic not doing their job. Continental airlines....so it was an A&P tech...An American fixed this...... Look on the NTSBs website on the incident, it will tell you more.....Eh buddy.
