Basically, the article states that at 0:20 am on 1/24, a NW B747 freighter flying CAN-KIX-ANC suffered an accident and burst 8 tires. Therefore the aircraft canceled its departure.
According to Japan's ministry of transportation and NW, The aircraft arrived for a refueling stop from CAN at 10:30 pm on the 24th. It then left its gate (spot) at 11:50 pm and tried to take-off but its engines were functioning properly so it cancelled its departure. But on the plane had to make an abrupt stop and bursted 8 tires when stopping.
KIX has never had a major accident but there are many minor ones involving tires or tail strikes. I think AC has a similar incident due to an ATC error or some mis-communication amongst the operators and suffered several blows to its tires, a couple of years ago.

Not a big deal. Sounds like a RTO, perhaps close to V1, brake energy limits very high (long taxi) and the fuse plugs on the tires did just what they are supposed ot do, melt!

I am wondering what time it is? I know Beijing time is now 08:40 pm on the 24th, but the accident was happened on 10:30pm on the 24th. What did you know it would happen?

Yeah an a.netter on youtube gave us a play by play of it happening. His narration made it sound like the Hindenburg disaster

Only NW would canceled a departure if the engines with functioning properly. So I'm guessing that you meant the engines were not functioning properly, and that can become a problem.

Yes this is the part that is confusing when I was translating it. Did the pilots try to take-off with the engines functioning peroperly, or did they stop because the engines weren't, and blew a few tires then?

Oh ok so it was an a.netter. Well he seemed to know exactly when V1, rotation was and so. And he stated that the same captain was the commander of AC040 a couple of hours later, don't know how that happened.
