 A scare this week for passengers on an American Airlines flight as at least one tire blew out just before takeoff at Florida's Tampa International Airport. No one was hurt, but the FAA is investigating and the plane had to be pulled from service. In a matter of seconds, a routine takeoff turned into an emergency. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! As a tire blew out on American Airlines flight 590 from Tampa to Phoenix Wednesday morning, damaging other tires in the process.
