Incident at ATL

[ukaviator]

Was coming into 26R at Atlanta Hartsfield yesterdays evening (12th April) around 9.15pm, and was instructed to sidestep to the inboard.
Turns out a Baron, 2 aircraft ahead of me had some kind of mishap on landing.
Anyone know what happened?

I think it was Airnet as at one point I heard the callsign 'Starcheck' whilst dealing with approach.

On exiting the inboard runway i was told to beware of debris.
I didnt see any, and from a distance the plane looked intact, Hope the guy was OK.
Perhaps a blown tire or something?
Anyone?

Are you the British Guy that I use to hear every morning landing at FTY in the 'Van 8HF?

Wasn't one of our barons, but you probably did hear the callsign since we've got a couple of Learjets that would be operating down there around that time. Hope all is ok.

Wow, deja vu! Almost six years ago, I worked for AirNet and was jumpseating to ATL in a company Baron. The captain made a good landing on 26R and a few seconds later the airplane started veering left. The captain managed to get it stopped close to the edge of the runway. When we got out of the airplane, we saw that the left main tire had completely separated from the wheel.
