 Have you ever wondered what the landing gear on a Boeing 777 looks like at 1200 frames per second as it makes contact with terra firma? Well, wonder no more!  This video offers up a fascinating look into the world of rapidly accelerating rubber! You also get a really cool view of the fan on the right engine spinning in the opening sequence. It's all very, very cool stuff to see in my opinion.

 I do need the help of someone smarter than me tho to figure out why the front wheel and tire of the right gear leg makes contact with the runaway and starts to spool up before the center wheel and tire. Maybe it just has more tread on it and is actually a slightly larger diameter? Anyone have ideas on this? 

Lastly, I'm just really glad that youtube doesn't have a 'smell' app to go along with the video : )
