the power of friction has made the disc glow red at 1.40.
just imagine the tremendous amount of heat that is generated.
From the description :
QuoteIn a novel new video, Boeing tests the worn-out — as in no material, just metal — brakes of a fully-loaded 747-8 Freighter by going through a pilot's worst-case liftoff scenario: aborting a takeoff.
The successful result: 2,500-degrees-Fahrenheit brake pads, totally destroyed tires and plenty of tarmac left on the runway.

For what it's worth, the brake discs in a Formula F1 car reach similar temperatures several hundred times in a typical race scenario. they can - and do - slow down the car from 300+ km/hr to less than 100 in a little over one second! The forces involved are very high , over 4G.
have a look at the steam formed due to water evaporation from the discs at 2.22.
form this anwar sir i just recalled a similar video.
have a look.

Thanks for saying what I wanted to say. :)
did that " POWER OF FRICTION" thing in our college lathe... its called FRICTION WELDING...
thats hell of a het produced.. lucky to do with low carbon steel.. could not imagine doing that with HSS or tougher metals
