In general, I'd expect the landing pilot to notice the aircraft with the
blown tire sitting on the runway. But in sufficiently poor weather...?

Those are all potential problems that haven't caused a wreck here in the
States because a controller wasn't able to send someone around when he
had to.

That's not the same thing as saying that it cannot occur, though. If we did
have a wreck caused by such an unfortunate and unlikely event, would the
rules be changed? If so, why wait?

That's what I'm not understanding...or I'm missing what makes this unlikely
scenario impossible.
