Source AM680 News from Toronto:
"The B-1 bomber, on September 7th, 2004, had to abort its take off due to a blown tire. The crew was out of the aircraft before the fire crews could reach them. a new tire will be flown in to replace the blown rubber before the aircraft will be able to return to Dyess AFB. The crew will spend the night in Toronto to fly out the next day."
The incident apparently happened at Pearson which might have disrupted traffic until the aircraft was removed from the runway. Cheers!

B-1 abort
According to the Dyess AFB public affairs office, the B-1 was taking off on Sept. 7 when the pilot aborted the takeoff roll when the plane went through as flock of seagulls.
During the rapid stop, one set of brakes were damaged and all the tires were flat spotted.
The tires will be relaced and the plane should be back at Dyess soon.
Appearently, there was no damage to the engines....

Does anyone know what happened to the B1 Bomber that was taking off at Toronto and had some sort of problem forcing a rejected take off? Apparently the crew escaped from the aircraft very fast and left the aircraft on the runway?????
