Thank goodness it didn't roll across the ramp area. Could you imagine everyone scrambling around?

Those extra nose wheels are highly over-rated anyway

Just FYI, airplane wheels have been know to blow apart with the force of a small bomb. Never aproach a wheel from the side when it is being inflated, that can blow apart and kill bystanders. Stay foward or behind the tire.

Aircraft wheels are a "split half" design. They are held together by nuts and are inflated to 1/2 their rated pressure before they are sent out to the plane. When they are installed, then the wheel bearing nut adds to the strength of the wheel, and they are inflated to full pressure.

Most people are amazed at the pressure inside aircraft tires. I can't rember the exact PSI for a FA-18 tire for carrier ops, but it was something like 4,000.
