That's NOT Gonna Be A Quick Tire Change...

Continental 737 Blows ALL MG Tires On Landing

After all the flak that has hit the airlines in the last few days, this is the last thing they needed. Somehow, a Continental B737-500 managed to blow out all its main gear tires while executing a landing in Houston. A brake fire ensued, but the overall damage was determined to be "minor" and NO injuries occurred. 

[Note: Some initial media reports indicated that this was a Southwest aircraft, but the FAA report (included below) concludes that this was a Continental Boeing 737.]
