>Blowing all the tyres on one bogey is going to cause more than a casual float to the side at 130+ kts. You could end up with a loss of control on the ground.<

So in that situation would you rather stop on the ground or land with all blown tyres? You can hardly go into a holding pattern and blow them all up again :-)

This whole thread is becoming an ego trip fact is I lost a very experienced 20000 hr pilot friend and 3 others in my time so there for the grace of God go I or any of us.

There are tragic accidents that occur to all of us, nothing is set in stone, armchair pilots or otherwise.

At the end of the day you make a decision if its wrong you pay if its right you get away to fight another day.
