Answer

Can a tyre failure on a plane be dangerous for passengers?

A tyre failure can look alarming and may create smoke or a strong smell, but it does not automatically mean passengers are in danger. Aircraft are built with emergency procedures for this kind of event, and crews are trained to handle it. The key factor is how quickly the situation is controlled during landing and taxiing.
