Right. This is my point. Since someone stated:

In the US, controllers would sequence the arriving aircraft so that a go
around would not be necessary.

I thought it useful to point out that, in this US, this is usually but not
always the case. What I wrote:

Where I live, controllers attempt to do so. They don't
always succeed. Sometimes they err, sometimes tires fail, ...

is pretty clear. Why Steven concludes that a blown tire implies a failure
to provide proper spacing is odd, but really doesn't have anything to do
with the discussion here.
