Wheels up — and off!
An Air Canada passenger with a window seat shot video of what appears to be a wheel falling off a plane’s landing gear as it departed Montreal-Trudeau International Airport before the weekend got underway.
Sparks can be seen shooting out from the landing gear before the tire goes bouncing across the runway.
“I’m currently on a plane that has just lost a wheel,” that passenger wrote in French. “2020 starting off well.”
The plane, which was scheduled to make a 300 mile flight from Montreal to Saguenay-Bagotville airport Quebec, returned safely to its point of origin.
None of its 49 passengers were injured, according to NBC News, which reports the landing gear still had five tires on it after losing its sixth.
