Truly Bizarre
(click to enlarge)From here, page 172 (warning, LARGE PDF file).
Yes, I believe (!) this section of steel columns fell 1000 feet to the street with an airplane wheel firmly wedged in it.
Note, this was from apparently from WTC1 before the collapse of either tower-- though they don't know exactly where this section came from, as there was no corresponding hole visible in the south face of WTC1. Truly bizarre.

I found the tire sizes for 767's -
current production versions:
mainwheel tyres size H46×W18.0-20
