China Airlines flight CI5880, a Boeing 747-400F aircraft had a tire burst on the number 11 wheel at stand 507 at Changi Airport, Singapore while the tire pressure was being serviced. A tyre pressure gauge that the technician had placed on the top of the tyre was propelled towards the fuselage and damaged the wing body fairing above the No.11 tyre.
The bursting of the tyre was probably a result of the progressive weakening of the tyre wall because of a ply cord deterioration condition. The integrity of the tyre was compromised progressively and it was during this incident that the tyre wall could no longer withstand the internal inflation pressure and thus give way to a tyre burst.

#OTD 2018 Slow deflation was not noticed until turnaround in Singapore. A Cold check was conducted on what was likely still a Hot tyre. It was decided to keep the tyre service - it burst during inflation.https://t.co/nuZiwubWUU #flightsafety #aviationsafety #aviationmaintenance pic.twitter.com/3wZmCVfpRt
