A tweet from Madrid airport Monday evening reveals the damage done to a tire on one of the two wheels of the main carriage. It also shows one tire apparently intact on the left side. Earlier reports said the plane had lost a wheel. The tire is said to have blown on takeoff sending debris into the engine. But the other wheel and landing gear on the left side remained firm for a safe touchdown Monday afternoon.
