We are going to need a bigger NTSB department.

Probably ran over FOD. Tires on commercial airplanes are typically not replaced until the tread depth is 1/32 of an inch deep. Sometimes they are not changed until the tread cord is showing. Then they are removed and sent to a shop to be retreaded. Blowouts are very uncommon. Most happen on landing if the antiskid fails. Not uncommon for a tire to last over a month with several landings a day.
So many aviation stories making the news lately that my brain keeps wondering if some of it is sabotage at this point… praying just a silly thought!
I have had a feeling for some time that aviation maintenance crews that because of ingrained wok-ism, may have the correct credentials but actually are not up to standard, or, perhaps, have an ideological bent to do harm.
