As the plane was picking up speed and seconds away from liftoff, the tires blew out. The pilot slammed on the brakes as the plane barreled towards the end of the runway. No injuries were reported and all 176 passengers and six crew members “safely de-planed.” The Federal Aviation Administration said the take-off was aborted after the crew on the 737 “reported multiple blown tires.” Full video: Captain Steven Markovich on YT.
No injuries were reported, according to American Airlines spokesperson Ethan Klapper, who said 174 passengers and six crew members were on board. Klapper said the plane, a Boeing 737-800, experienced a mechanical issue related to the tire before takeoff.

YIKES!!!
Perhaps the problems are not Boing rather American Airlines. They have always had an intermittent problem with safety. In the 1990s they had one of the worst safety record in the industry.
This is making me think there is a campaign to sabotage the airlines, maybe into scaring the people into staying home. Something is up.
