did it occur to anyone that the tire ingested into the engine was from another plane? while I suppose a nose tire might find its way into the engines of a 757, a main gear tire is much less likely to do so.

On the DC9 we did worry about a blown tire getting ingested into an engine...for obvious reasons...but a 757?
