There's a few questions going to be asked about this:

When the wheel was found?
What was the decision process that allowed the flight to continue apparently blissfully unaware?
What caused the wheel to fail?

The final straw was probably the turn onto the runaway as this particular wheel is the one that would have had the most scrubbing. The rear pairs also take the bulk of the landing force on the Flying iPad, which is something in itself as most landings on it are brutal. Watch it on a big screen and there are a couple of flashes of sparks from the brake pack as the wheel failed leaving the runway.

amazing footage especially watching the wheel fall.  Also amazing it's not done by some kid in an anorak religiously filming every take off like in the old days, its all AI and robo cameras...
