What's the story behind this one, since I see it's not 'shopped?

When you fly and press the tug button on the posky panel, the wheels disappear. ;D

So if this WAS real, what happened to the wheels. When would you see this in real life?  ;D ::)

As the pilot sped down the runway with a plane full of passengers and fuel he heard a clunk.  The nose suddenly dropped and the pilot knew the wheels had fallen off.  With quick action the pilot realized that there was not enough runway to stop, so he pulled up.  As the pilot lifted into air and banked to the left, he noticed two little black dots rolling still on the runway.  After some time to burn fuel the pilot decided it was safe to land.  He lowered the flaps and started his descent as the flight attendants told the passengers to brace.  The wheels finally screeched on the ground as the firetrucks waited on the side of the runway.  Skillfully, he kept the front wheel off the ground as long as possible until the plane was slow.  Sparks flew as the metal scraped against the concrete runway as the plane came to a stop.  They were safe.  Everyone cheered for the skill of the pilot.  They had stopped only inches away from the end of the runway.
