In the 16 or so years I've been doing this I've seen less than 5 blown
tires that required the aircraft to get towed off the runway. In that
time I have witnessed well over a million takeoffs and landings.


That's unlikely. To witness that many you'd have to spend your full forty
hour work week in the tower every week for sixteen years and average thirty
operations per hour.
