But I still think the possibility lies in the fact if I had unlimited power to power a treadmill and could say ramp it up to 10,000 miles per hour to match a planes 100 miles per hour take off speed (examples there not saying takeoff for a jetliner is 100mph) that my theory of the wheels blowing up or failing would keep the plane from taking off.

I am not debating nor have I ever debated the fact the plane would or could move.
Thats what I'm getting at. I have not debated on this before now as well. Nor did I see the whole episode. So I'm not going to debate about it now anyway. But you guys are way too emotional about this [LOL]
