Narrative:
Left rear outer tire on left main truck blew on takeoff at 80 KTS. Post flight revealed the tire had blown and had caused damage to the brake fan housing. First officer was the flying pilot. All brake temperatures normal prior to taking the runway with around 40 degrees on the left truck (within 10 degrees of one another) and right 70 degrees (within 10 degrees) on the right mains. On line up and wait for 17R the first officer set the parking brake. When cleared for takeoff the brake was released normally. At around 80 KTS there was a bang. Above 80 KTS pre-briefed reject speed set for 'other than engine fire/failure; unsafe to fly' speed and by the time of recognition we were above that and accelerating fine. The rest of takeoff roll uneventful. Airborne there were no other abnormal indications other than the single tire temperature was at zero. On climb out we called dispatch and maintenance to discuss condition. I asked for dispatch to also notify the departure airport tower that we may have left FOD on the runway and also to relay to tower of our condition and request in advance crash fire rescue equipment to look at the aircraft prior to taxiing to the ramp. At our destination airport; cleared onto runway 3/21 after uneventful landing on 12R. Airfield rescue and fire fighters (arff) informed us that the tire was in fact flat and damaged but all the other tires were holding air. Maintenance had previously relayed that it was ok to taxi in with only one bad tire so we proceeded to the ramp with crash fire rescue equipment following us in. Also; we asked arff if there was any damage to the flap area; which there was none; so we raised the flaps. We called station operations to ensure they knew our condition and to keep personnel clear until arff and maintenance had ensured the area near the gear to be safe. Post flight revealed a stuck brake.

Title: A single A300 tire failed during takeoff at about 80 KTS; but the flight continued to its destination where an emergency was declared for landing. During post flight a locked brake was discovered on the flat tire.
