On 25 August, a Flybe De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 (G-ECOH) operated flight BE2111 between Edinburgh and London Heathrow, United Kingdom. Upon landing, the aircraft suffered a tire burst on its right-hand main landing gear.
Some local spotters noticed a few go-arounds.

Re: Trivia 2019 (miscellaneous news)
Since you asked: I seem to remember looking into this some time ago, and learning that the Brits started out with "tire", only to change to "tyre" later on. Surprising as it might seem to some, I cannot be really bothered.

In Queen's English, a lorry has tyres and drives on a motorway.
In Americanese, a truck has tires and drives on a highway.
Two different countries, separated by the same language.
(Besides not driving on the same side.)
At top political level there are also some capillary distinctions but this remark is primarily superficial.
