”Reports on Twitter and Facebook says that ICE689 may have lost a wheel on take off. Preparing for emergency landing. http://goo.gl/5K1LN”

One wheel…don’t they have 2 or 4 per under thingy?

If it’s the front one….

oh joy, something else for the 24hr rolling news to go mad over

christ that could get hypnotic

Is it dumping fuel atm?

piece of piss:

11 mins and stw is first page of Google. It’s ‘plane’ not funny now…

i’m assuming this situation is less boring for the people on board…

What an amazing website!

in for landing now?

is there a little explosion animation on the website if it doesn’t quite go according to plan?

final approach…

lets watch it is heading back

Could they not catch it on a conveyor belt ?

It’s down….

I somehow expected that to be more exciting

What happened ? 😯

it’s disappeared

Where’s it gone?

It’s down….

And not a fiery ostrich in sight 🙁

Twitter says landed safely.

Telt yes!

I was watching live – http://www.ruv.is/ruv/

But I’m still watching. Language is so soothing.

They’ve put the wheel back on ……..I hope they’ve found all the bits for it 😐

“According to information from Keflavík ariport the plane is expected to take off again at 23.00 tonight.”

😆

I wonder what happened to the wheel? A 6ft wheel bouncing along at 250mph could do a lot of damage 🙂

As long as the conveyor was moving at 250mph it will be fine
