Moment BA plane to London loses wheel after take-off in Vegas

This is the moment a British Airways flight to London suddenly lost a wheel shortly after take-off from Las Vegas.

The right rear wheel could be seen detaching from the Airbus A350-1000, before plummeting to the ground at Harry Reid International Airport. In a statement to the BBC, British Airways said: "safety and security underpins everything we do and we're supporting the authorities with their investigations".

Harry Reid International Airport said it was aware of an incident involving a British Airways aircraft on departing on Monday for London, where it said the plane "landed safely without further incident".

It said the tyre was retrieved from the airfield, there were no reported injuries or damage, and the National Safety Board had been notified.
