Ilyushin IL-18 Aborted take off

Uploaded by incongra on Oct 9, 2008
An Ilyushin IL-18 Coot ( Alada D2-FFR) Operated by DHL aborts takeoff from the 8202 ft long airstrip at Cabinda, West Africa. The pilot has done an excellent job; - there's a busy public road beyond the boundary fence,less than 50 metres from the end of the runway.
Please don't ask me why he aborted; Sorry, I simply don't know.
I have been advised that in point of fact this is a (former) IL-22 airborne command post stripped of mission equipment - note the fin tip pod which regular IL-18s do not have. Thanks to MrZlodeus for this info
This old coot remained in service; spotted at Luanda on 13th July 2009

Those birds caused it!

@N791AN No, i dont think that that is the reason and the chance of that many wheels bursting during take off is pretty low, I think that is when the breaks are engaged, It looks and sounds like the conditions were pretty ordinary and windy, i would suspect that the weather would be more of a reason.

at 1:19 some wheels burst! That's why he aborted.
You can read the report on Aviation Herald.

I think he aborted takeoff because of birds flying at the end of the runway
-
He really had to go...
-
at least he held the camera steady.
