Notes:

This tire got lost during take off. It was already too late to abort the take off. Runway 18 was closed until they cleaned and checked the runway. Lots of aircraft had to use rwy 25L and 25R instead. At first I wanted to contact some authorities, but the Iberia-crew of "EC-HGZ" noticed the incident and reported it to the tower. The Belavia-Crew was informed by the tower but decided to continue to their destination (Minsk) without returning. They landed safely at Minsk. [1200pixels]
