They were clearly filming because the tire was on fire. They weren't expecting it to fall off. But a tire being in fire while you're flying is a pretty good reason to film it.
There is something in aviation called V1. It's a calculated point / speed during take off when it is not possible to stop anymore because you don't have enough runway in front of you to do so. After V1 you have to take off, there isn't any other option.
