Hi Guys,

Just my 2p worth:

It's normal in Fast a/c to continue t/o if you blow a tyre, provided you are above certain key speeds. Which he appears to be.

The Rudders are at full right swing (In the 2nd to last pic), indicating he may be correcting a 'drag' swing from a deflating tyre.

It's not usually a big deal, but the clincher would be what happened next? Did he go? or did he leave his gear down and come back a bit later?

Normally, if you blow one on t/o, the key is to Leave the Gear Down!

So, what happened next?
