Not sure how but they blew 2 tires on take off and this video shows their landing. They made it look easy for sure. Hats off to the crew.

I heard that an American Eagle E145 went off the runway today due to blow tires as well but I haven't tracked down any info on that yet.

Indeed - a very good landing - interesting to see they only employed the starboard engine reverser too...

They did so to help counteract the yawing from the left wheels being flat. Nice work though.
