Narrative:
Aircraft taxied down taxiway after having a rejected takeoff event. Both right main tires burst while taxiing causing heavy damage to gear door and several wing panels. My concern is that the tires bust before the fuse plugs were able relieve the pressure in the tire; putting all those around and in the aircraft in danger.
