An Air Canada Boeing 787-9 has tires blow out taking off from London's Heathrow Airport, but makes a safe recovery.

The Air Canada Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner had a brake fault and a blown tire, causing smoke during takeoff.
The Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) notified the pilots of the tire issue, prompting them to return to the airport.
The pilots safely landed the aircraft after burning off fuel, and the landing gear was inspected and replaced the following 24 hours.
