A nightmare scenario to anyone in this industry! Thoughts and prayers to all involved and a constant reminder how quick things can go wrong!

No need to speculate, the investigation is ongoing, all the sympathies for the families

The tyres have relief valves OPRs, so does inflating tool AND the N2 supply has regulators! What caused it then? It is very important to know! That's beyond any guess!

What a sad situation ... Words cannot express the sadness of encountering this situation in our sector. They rest in peace, may God give patience to those left behind. Dear colleagues, it is essential to reduce the tire pressure without taking risks when changing tires, and to check the low / high pressure setting when servicing. We will work on a protective visor while performing such operations, we hope that a similar tragedy will not happen again.

Importance of deflation of wheel-assembly prior to onboard maintenance and mandatory use of tyre-cage during workshop maintenance to determine pressure inflation/retention checks needs strictest regulation.
