There are lots of ways for wrong information to get to the cockpit. I'm sure there were a lot of sparks and maybe Tower said, "your wheel is on fire." Maybe an FA in the back saw the sparks and thought it was a fire. Maybe a passenger just decided to open up a window exit.

You just ground a wheel assembly down to the axle. Your brakes are molten and the entire assembly is hotter than the hinges of hell. You know there is flammable hydraulic fluid down there with very good chances of it leaking onto something hot. I don’t know how you think that doesn’t cause smoke but there is smoke clearly visible from the main gear while looking out the first row in coach from the video posted online by a passenger (passenger also took his carry on with him down the slide). They kept it on the runway, 13 minor injuries, and the plane will probably be flying again by the end of the week. I think you owe that whole crew an apology.
