Plane Loses Wheel During Takeoff in Las Vegas

A British Airways passenger jet lost a landing gear wheel during takeoff from Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, authorities said. The Airbus A350-1000 continued its flight and landed safely at Heathrow Airport in London. Flight data showed sparks coming from the right main landing gear shortly after liftoff, before a piece of equipment fell onto the runway. Airport officials said the wheel was recovered with no injuries or damage reported, while the US Federal Aviation Administration has opened an investigation.
