Quick-thinking and expertly trained, the pilot immediately hit the brakes as their Boeing 737 hurtled towards the end of the runway.

Thankfully, due to the swift actions of the brave crew members, there were no reported injuries. All 176 passengers and six crew members “safely de-planed.”
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that the take-off was aborted after receiving reports from the flight crew about “multiple blown tires” on the 737..
Huge shoutout to the pilot for his quick thinking. Only capable people should ever be airline pilots. Hopefully they never start hiring pilots using DEI requirements. ????

Imagine if that had happened during landing rather than during takeoff. The end result could have been much worse.
