Did they land on taxiway when they returned?

Preliminary investigation reveals the FO had been working out too much.
The sheer mass of his biceps caused a tire to blow.
It happened right at 80 kts.
There were no injuries, but a cheerleader was taken to the pilot lounge for observation.
Well, we know who to blame don't we. Where is that 80ktsclamp?

Question for the fine pilots on this board.
In the case of DL1457 that blew a tire at take off from ATL it circled long enough to burn/dump fuel for a safer landing.

Why not burn the fuel flying to Portland?
Aside from ATL having more (an perhaps longer runways) what is the reason not to complete the flight?
After all, landing with a blown tire statistically (and to the credit of great pilots) is pretty uneventful, and in the event of problems one place is as bad as the other.

Probably because they have their own MX at ATL. I can see the flight continuing on to ATL from somewhere else if it happened. They may also be required by OPSPECS to land at the "nearest suitable airport" in such an event as well.

From my experience working MX in the past, it's not only the ability to land or control the aircraft that concerns the operation. It's made up of a few things. One of the major concerns is the possible damage to the aircraft from the tire falling apart at high speeds. We all remember the Concorde.
