Delta 1303 Blown Tire

There's only really the tower audio that I could find before they switched to ground, where nothing of any importance was discussed, and then to another frequency I couldn't pull up on LiveATC.

The real thing of interest to me about the whole incident is the fact that this occurred just after 10 PM local, and the tower was able to see something wrong with the aircraft.  Now sure 26L is the inboard/closer runway to the tower but still, that place isn't exactly lit that well.  If you ever watch on one of their webcams you'll see what I mean.  They exited the runway at E3 which is more or less at the end of 26L so they were probably moving pretty good down the runway also.  Anyhow good job to the flight crew and tower for their professionalism in this instance.

I didn't edit the audio in anyway so this was all real time and there's a low altitude alert given by the tower to a Southwest flight on final for 26R as well.
