I hope they don't use aluminum chips in that paint for reflectivity, aluminum is a main fuel in the Space Shuttle's solid rocket engines.

It's likely the hub assembly of the wheel was aluminum alloy.

I'm still trying to figure out why they didn't foam the runway, unless they didn't have that capability-- and you'd think LA of all places would have first-rate firefighting capability.
