The Caravelle was
Swissair Flight 306, a bit of pilot-induced failure. Illustrates the problem of retracting damaged gear, though - and you never know
why the tyre blew. Were the brakes "grabbing" for the taxi out - overheating the tyre? Who knows?

Delta Airlines said the crew was aware of tyre debris being found on the runway following their departure, Delta technicians however were unable to positively identify from photos whether the debris belonged to a Delta aircraft or not. The crew therefore declared emergency on approach to Sao Paulo as a precaution.
So, having said that - they retracted the gear as normal, and without knowledge of the failure (which is normal for an aircraft of this size). Contacted some time later about the tyre debris - you have already retracted the gear, and been monitoring the performance for some time ...
50:50 call, I reckon.
