YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAn American Airlines Boeing 737 flight was forced to abort after one of its wheels began to smoke — and exploded — just as the plane was about to take off from a Florida airport Wednesday.
Footage posted on YouTube by plane spotter Captain Steven Markovich shows the American Airlines aircraft gaining speed on the runway at Tampa International Airport when its right tire suddenly begins to smoke, eventually bursting into flames.
