SFLY; the incidents were all considered serious, and where necessary dealt with as far as possible with several modificaions. This was a case of several mistakes all happening together. I seriously doubt that any wing undersurface would have been intact, given the combination of fuel tanks pressurised and such a massive tyre explosion. This was NOT a blow out, it was the total destruction of the tyre.
