Wheel falls off British Airways plane during take-off from Las Vegas

This is the moment one of the wheels fell off a British Airways plane to London shortly after take-off from Las Vegas.

The right rear wheel of the Airbus A350-1000 can be seen detaching from the aircraft and falling to the ground.

The Clark County Department of Aviation said the wheel was retrieved from the airfield and that no one was injured.

The flight continued to London and landed safely.

“Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) is aware of an incident involving a British Airways aircraft that departed LAS last night and continued on to London, where it landed safely without further incident,” the Clark County Department of Aviation said in a statement.

“The tire was retrieved from the LAS airfield. There were no reported injuries or damage to airport property. The National Transportation Safety Board has been notified.”
