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.
all the data bases involving confirmed tyre ingestion into engines were found to be the same aircraft that lost the tyre.

I always chocked (sic) this up to clean runway sweeps following a tyre failure
