Is that easier or harder for the pilot to deal with than a single tyre failure?

rumour has it he hit the parking brake by accident as 100% throttle (dry no reheat)=(~40,000LB thrust pushing ~35,000LB weight) and trying to stop that weight at 150MPH - 200MPH the tyres went "fk you" and dropped off.

Wow that's incredible! Very interesting. Oh, i think the garbled message at 5:04 is "Great yarmouth", a coastal town in Suffolk

Just found this footage of a Tu95 Bear takeoff going badly wrong. It seems this happened in January but I don't have any other details -

It looks like one of the port engines simply exploded.

I Mentioned this to someone I know that works at RAF Coningsby and the only way you can accidentally hit the parking brake is if you were born with a left arm that has two elbow joints, one of which bends the wrong way and have an extra bone or two about 8"-12" long between them.

I was just off what I was told by someone that works on base...so there's no doubt a load of bullst floating about regarding what caused it.
Be interesting to know what really happened
