Well TD it (tyre burst on TO) happened to me on an MD-80...
Also tried to get fighters for a buddy check (as there was collateral damage to L engine, hydraulics and gear down indicator too) but they could only offer me a Fokker Friendship - with pax on board... This assistance we thankfully declined.
Fortunately no smart phones or Facebook in those days but some nice letters afterwards.
