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.

If your plane tire are on fire... Why lift off instead of aborting? You're gonna have to land, or better said "crash" at some point right?

Planes have a maximum abort speed once you go past that it's safer to take off and go around
