Forgive me if I'm being ignorant or just plain dumb, but... plane lands, blows tyre, obviously cannot taxi to stand. (Why) is it not possible to just quickly tow it of the runway within 15-30' or so, and the rwy being checked for rubber parts in the meanwhile?

Why does this have to take soooo long??
