## Discrepancy

UNCONTAINED NR 2 MAIN LANDING GEAR TIRE FAILURE ON TAKEOFF ROLL.  FURTHER EXAMINATION REVEALED FAILURE OF TORQUE LINK ATTACH POINT ON LOWER YOKE OF MAIN GEAR STRUT.  LOWER STRUT ASSEMBLY ROTATED 360 DEG.  CLOCKWISE WRAPPING BRAKE LINES AROUND LOWER STRUT.  NO DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT.  INSUFFICIENT DATA EXISTS AT THIS TIME TO DETERMINE IF THE LOWER TORQUE LINK ATTACH POINT FAILURE PRECEDED THE TIRE FAILURE OR WAS A RESULT OF THE TIRE FAILURE.
