Someone sent me this. Maybe an uncommanded steering issue??

"Hard landing" + veering = blown tire? Glad everyone is ok.

What would lead you to believe one is needed/necessary?

Always nice when the benefit of the doubt is given

Probably the most statiscally prevalent contributing factor to departure from paved surfaces - - contaminated runways.
Why do you think another poster even looked at/posted the METAR from the time of the mishap?

Are you aware of the history of the aircraft and it's uncommanded nosewheel steering tendencies?

As well as the XJT's requirement for a memory item dealing with such?

So I'll ask you the same, what makes you think a alibi is necessary? To add, do you have the facts to make a determination as to what the cause was? Does a nice/happy METAR mean NOTHING else could have happened

That scenario is given on A LOT of PCs. Also, look at how narrow the runway is there.
