Square tyre on BA A380

An astonishing picture has emerged of a square-shaped tyre on a British Airways A380 that touched down at London’s Heathrow Airport.
Aviation experts have been left baffled by the misshapen deflated wheel, which was part of the landing gear on a flight that arrived from Hong Kong on Friday.
The Civil Aviation Authority described the incident as ‘curious’, a serving pilot admitted he wasn’t sure how it could have occurred and even an aviation safety expert from the Royal Aeronautical Society described the square tyre as ‘a bit mysterious’.
