United flight blows two tires on landing at RSW
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) closed operations after a United Boeing 737-8 plane blew two tires while landing. At around 11 a.m., an airport alert was sent regarding possible blown tires on landing. People on board the United Airlines flight told NBC2 that the flight had gone smoothly up until landing.

Passenger said there was the sound of a puff of smoke. What does a puff sound like?
Puff the magic dragon.....
Thank you Michael Foster for an intelligent reply.
Does the 737 co-pilot brakes have no anti-skid like the KC-135? I can't tell you how many tires I changed over the years cuz some co-pilot tapped his toes on the brake pedals on landing.
Must have been a Navy pilot !!!!!
The airport authorities are required to "sweep" the runway for debris to avoid a mishap to another aircraft, such as what happened to a Concorde at CDG, when its fuel tanks were damaged by debris left on the runway by a prior departing flight. That wasn't a blown tire; however, it has caused the airports to be more cautious of events, such as these, subsequent to the Paris incident.
