Pan Am Sikorsky building crash NYC, 1977

Just came across this on the web:

http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/...icle-1.2214161

It happened in 1977 and was said to be a tyre burst which then caused a sequence which killed 5 people and injured another 8.

I am wondering how often has a tyre burst occurred after landing, and have they caused this kind of result again? Did it impact on such operations in the future?
