Apparently the tyre didn't actually "Blow", as it was still inflated on arrival at EMA, but lost the layer of tread. The tread that was thrown off damaged a brake line causing a slight hydraulic leak which was then stopped by the hydraulic fuse in the line. There was no fuel leak, but the fire services were taking no chances when they saw the leak of hydraulic fluid.
