Hi all, long time no posting :-)

Has anyone seen any interesting pics about this incident?  I saw a 
very brief photo on a Japanese-language tv article.  It looked like 
the wheels were still correctly attached but it had lost both tyres 
(or tires...) from the rims.  The pilots appeared to have pulled it 
up dead in the middle of the runway centre line as well.

JAL plane loses 2 nose-wheel tires in landing at Haneda

TOKYO - The rubber tires came off the two nose wheels of a Japan 
Airlines passenger jet Wednesday upon landing at Tokyo's Haneda 
airport, leaving the plane stranded on the runway, but no one was 
injured in the incident, airline and airport officials said.

The wheels remained attached to the shaft of the nose gear of the 
Boeing 767 from New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido with 210 passengers 
and 12 crew members aboard, JAL said.

Work to remove the plane from the runway is under way. (Kyodo News)
