The media is making this out as the 747 blew 4 tires, then aborted as a result; which maybe the correct sequence of events.

However, it says that the CA noticed a warning light go off during the t/o and so decided to abort. Wouldn't it be more likely that after the decision was made to abort, that the tires then blew out during deceleration on the rejected t/o?
