An American Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration N947AN performing flight AA-1256 from Miami,FL to New York La Guardia,NY (USA), was accelerating for takeoff on Miami's runway 08R when the inboard left hand main tyre blew at high speed, the crew did not notice the blown tyre and continued takeoff. The subsequent departure after becoming airborne reported debris on the runway, that appeared to be a large chunk of rubber. Runway 08R was closed for a runway inspection, the crew of American Airlines Boeing 737 stopped the climb at 5000 feet and entered a hold to assess the situation, wait for the runway inspection results and burn off fuel. The crew subsequently performed a low approach to runway 08L to have the tyres checked from the ground, climbed to 3000 feet again to prepare for landing back and landed safely on runway 09 about 85 minutes after departure.

A post flight inspection revealed debris off the inboard left main tyre had also damaged the left hand inboard flaps.

A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration N873NN reached New York with a delay of 4 hours.
