Was this after you already got off today?

yeah, after i got off and about 2 hours before I got back to work, aircraft just cleared the runway...the runways are still closed and they are sweeping them now.

consistent with a tire blowing out.

Kept that baby right on the centerline. Nice job. Looks like the engine barely kept above the ground... that'll save them some trouble.

Are all incidents with airliners reported to the NTSB? I know that for the typical GA plane, you don't report a landing gear collapse or tire blowout, but I'm not sure if it's a different story for heavier metal.

It was blown alright, but I don't think it was a tire!







That's a rim-shot for those of you keeping up.
