Don’t fully understand, if shortly after leaving the runway then they would be in the air and this wouldn’t have been the result of losing a wheel. Shortly before leaving the runway? Or was this a realization upon landing? Either way terrifying

Those wheels are spinning incredibly fast at that point and when one suddenly goes out of balance this is what you get.

Damn, those tiny wheels have that much momentum? Or it’s that it really messes with aerodynamics? I have airplane questions, airplane sage

Oh yeah big time. Those little wheels are actually pretty big and weigh several hundred pounds. Here's a pic for scale Here's a picture for scale
