The outboard forward right hand main tyre was found blown, tower was advised there was possibly debris on the runway and closed the runway.
Passengers later reported the captain announced 4 right hand main tyres and 2 left hand main tyres had deflated in total, there had been a brakes problem on landing.
Subsequent arrivals were reassigned to runway 22R. About 10 minutes later a situation developed during which the tower controller was increasingly uneasy and prepared to instruct a go around as separation between an arrival to runway 22R, a Lufthansa A330-300 registration D-AIKG performing flight LH-408 arriving from Dusseldorf (Germany) and an arrival to runway 29, a Commutair Embraer ERJ-145, registration N16183 performing flight C5-4959/UA-4959 arriving from Ithaca,NY (USA), got a bit too close for comfort. Tower instructed the A330 to maintain minimum speed during final approach and let both landings continue, both aircraft touched down within 25 seconds.
