What causes blown tyres?
Aircraft tyres are incredibly strong, but they can blow out due to excessive heat, impact, or rapid deflation. In this story, the plane landed with four blown tyres, likely a result of the emergency landing itself, possibly from heavy braking or the stress of an overweight landing, rather than the initial take-off incident.
