Sixteen months after this ramp shot was made, October 19 2009 this a/c had aborted its take off run at Sharjah, due to high vibration on accelerating for lift-off. The pilot-in-command instantly aborted the take off by retarding the throttles, and deploying the thrust reversers normally decelerated the giant. The incident investigation revealed, that the vibration caused by the disintegration of the left hand inboard aft wheel at 83 knots (about 155 km/h) on take-off run, due to progressive undetected fatigue stress. Last seen active November 20 2009 in Sharjah as EK-76155.
