One question:

Is it safe to retract the gear after a Tyre Burst?

Couldnt happen the same as many years ago with the Hajj Diesel8 Nationair?
As a result of the investigation into the accident you mentioned is why they installed wheel well fire indicators..! Besides, it might not be so apparent during the T/O roll that you had a tire burst (no significant yaw change or feeling on the rudder pedals) you might feel something is wrong but not really compute that it is a tire, by that time your natural reaction will be to raise the gear as you always do.
