            ... was accelerating for takeoff from runway 27L when one of the nose gear tyres blew causing the aircraft to veer off the runway. The crew rejected takeoff, [...] There were no injuries.

                    Now that we have smartphone video footage of every incident, I'm thinking that's pretty much what you see with every evacuation.

                      And the tires too. They're lego tires.

                        All jokes aside, I'm surprised no one is taking this seriously, considering the initial reports the A320 was already nose-up and getting airborne, when they apparently tried to reject the takeoff and bounced on the runway a few times.
                        Kidna suggestive of a rejected takeoff at Vr, and past V1 obviously.

                          Yes that would be kinda suggestive if true. Source?

                            The first news I read on CNN

                            Airline spokesman: A US Airways plane blew a tire while taking off Thursday evening at Philadelphia International Airport, prompting it to abruptly stop.



                            Watching from a nearby plane, Dave Olinger said, "I saw the plane come down with its landing gear (hitting) the ground abnormally hard and it bounced back into the air. Then it continued to try to land and it went out of my view as I saw a massive cloud of dust come up from behind it." A witness in an airport terminal, posting to the online travel community FlyerTalk.com, reported seeing the plane "bounce twice on takeoff."
                            Someone on the A.net forum was claiming they witnessed the same.
                            Don't know how credible it all is. For now.

                              Hit it with what?

                              Her tweets apparently were "So my plane just crashed" and "I almost just died."
