A front tyre of a Thai Airways International jet liner, carrying the head of Cambodia's parliament and 30 lawmakers, ''fell flat'' while taxiing after landing at Phnom Penh international airport yesterday morning. None of the 147 passengers and 13 crew on board THAI's A300-600 aircraft on flight TG 696 was hurt in the incident, nor was there any further damage.
''The tyre did not burst or explode upon landing as some reports suggested. It landed safely and did not cause any panic among passengers,'' a THAI spokeswoman said.
It was not immediately known what caused the tyre to fall flat and an investigation was under way yesterday.
The flat tyre was replaced by a new one and a check was conducted, causing the return flight, TG 697, to Bangkok to be delayed by 1.42 hours.
THAI said passenger and in-flight safety are the airline's top priorities.

First warning dude! and that is the price to pay for not having our own air force one. The current gov is too stupid to have one.
I have told you before and I will tell you again! This is the nature of the Thaicong politic! Every fucken Thaicong government came to power and each one of them always demand certain part of Khmer territory to appease the Thaicong population or to attract their vote as being patriotic or the Thaicong government is trying to tell the Thaicong population of how tough they are!
The issue Phrea Vihear temple is non-negotiable and again it deal with Khmer sovereignty! The fucken Thaicong needs to get the concept of sovereignty through their fucken brain!
If anything creates by the Thaicong government which lead to instability of the whole Southeast Asia and the fucken Thaicong government will not be forgiven and they will be hold responsible and this is not a fucken warning!
"Despite this, soldiers from the two countries retained close ties."
I want to add the only close tie between Khmer and the Thaicong are corrupted Khmer leaders and Khmer soldiers! Yes... the fucken Thaicong want to be so closed that they want to claim Khmer sovereignty! Ahahhahahhah! What kind of Thaicong twisted logic is this? Never trust the fucken Thaicong!
Fuck the Thaicong investment! Fuck the Thaicong trade! Fuck the Thaicong diplomatic relation! Fuck all the Thaicong!
The fucken Thaicong government is out of line with the civilized world!
This is the issue of the Thaicong government who is looking for tourism dollars and one of the ways to get tourism dollars is to steal Khmer monuments and culture and here in the 21st century and the Thaicong government still behave like a criminal? Yes! More like drug dealers who use threat to achieve what they want! Fuck the Thaicong government!
All the Thaicong government need to know by now that the issue of Phrea Vihear is non-negotiable because it deals with Khmer sovereignty!
So if the Thaicong government desperately needs more tourism dollars to fix their aging F-16 jet fighters and some other useless weapons and I suggest that they force million and million of the Thaicong women to be prostitute like in the 1980!
Khmer government is not in any position to share any tourism dollars from Phrea Vihear with the Thaicong government! Plain and Simple! If the Thaicong government desperately want more dollars from tourism and they have to go out there get it and earn it and don't ever dream that Khmer government will share it unless the Thaicong government want to look down the barrel of Khmer’s guns!
If the fucken Thaicong government dare to start a war and they will be dragged into protracted guerilla warfare which will cost them economically and Cambodia can afford to delay the economic progress because Cambodia is still in the rebuilding process and once Cambodia catch up with the Thaicong economically and it will tougher for the Thaicong to start any shit! Let the fucken Thaicong come and we will greet them with guns, bullets, and bombs!
7:33 youre so hate and anger will not solve the problem brothe.
It's the truth. Thanks God! There is one Cambodian that can speak English and tell it like the way it is.
He is our own Jessi Jackson. Love my Khmer brother 7:33 & 7:50am!

Prior to any flight, it is critically imperative and paramount that the first officer (co-pilot)get out of the cockpit and go out on the ground and KICK those tires to ensure these tires are properly inflated and simultaneously check for any other anomalies of the conditions of the tires as part of pre-flight inspection (while the captain is perfomring other crucial and vital check-list items on the glass-cockpit).
Furthermore, I'm glad that the tire was not blown off after the plane touched down onto the runway, otherwise it would have sparked a fire, which then would have spreaded to the fuel tank (on the wing)would lead to a huge conflagration.
However, after having read this recent article, yet I'm relatively iffy about the incident. It is my sincere hope that the recent incident does not lead to an inferno or conflagration of war between the nations. Again, I'm still iffy about the incident,till I obtain further details and information from the Thai aviation experts as to what and why the tire was not properly checked by the ground crews or the firt officer or the captain. Again, no one should be blamed but the captain -- since he/she has the final authority as a PIC, or pilot in command, to ensure the aircraft is safe to operat(this is the responsibility of the pilot or captain; further, legally, the responsibility of the flight is or was rested on the captain's stripes.
Khmer forever! Yuon and Thaicong out of Cambodia!
