This video is simply crazy. Per Bloomberg the event was filmed at “Taranto in southern Italy” yesterday morning. Take a look:
Un Boeing 747 Dreamlifter operat de Atlas Air (N718BA) care a decolat marți dimineață (11OCT22) din Taranto (IT) spre Charleston (SUA) a pierdut o roată a trenului principal de aterizare în timpul decolării.

The bouncing tire was found later on where it eventually came to rest:
Ehhhh não….

Did the massive Dreamlifter land safely in Charleston, SC? It seems it did with no issues (even with one less wheel):

Add this to the long list of things you never want to have happen on take-off or landing! – René

A Dreamliner landed in Charleston??? SC??
@dee – Very large facility there. See: https://www.boeing.com/company/about-bca/south-carolina-production-facility.page
1/ That’s a tire, not a wheel.
2/ They clearly declared an emergency as the trucks were on the taxiways, waiting.
I clearly can’t type today – comment should be “that’s a wheel, not a tire.”
@Mike – LOL well the tire is still attached to the wheel it seems! 😉
Did the aircraft in question carry a mini spare or simply a can of fix-a-flat?
