Narrative:
Flying B727 with anti-skid inoperative (MEL'ed). I flew aircraft ewr-bda with no problems noted. First officer flew aircraft (bda-ewr) and everything was normal until touchdown. Aircraft immediately veered sharply right and I heard a bang and felt aircraft shudder...gained control of aircraft, used reverse thrust to slow/stop aircraft on last high speed turn off. Found flat spots on tires #1 and #4, #2 was normal and #3 was shredded and we had worn part of the hub/wheel assembly away (ground away by runway). Right main gear support brace was busted and gear was canted to right more than normal. No one was hurt that I know of. Rumor has it that a passenger complained of some type of injury at baggage claim. I think the anti-skid system (although turned off) was locked on the right gear that caused the sharp veer to right and the failure...then the #3 rubber sheared the gear support brace and it started to shift right as we slowed/stop aircraft. Aircraft had history of anti-skid problems and the captain on previous flight had no braking on right side as he left anti- skid switch on -- our MEL xx is confusing.0 the first 2 paragraphs give different actions and our maintenance people weren't 100% sure of exact nature of anti-skid problem so we ensured anti-skid system was off and we departed.

Title: A B727-200 ON LNDG WITH ANTI-SKID DEFERRED AS INOP EXPERIENCED A BLOWN TIRE AND SEVERED SIDE SUPPORT STRUT ON THE R MAIN LDNG GEAR.
Narrative: FLYING B727 WITH ANTI-SKID INOP (MEL'ED). I FLEW ACFT EWR-BDA WITH NO PROBS NOTED. FO FLEW ACFT (BDA-EWR) AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL UNTIL TOUCHDOWN. ACFT IMMEDIATELY VEERED SHARPLY R AND I HEARD A BANG AND FELT ACFT SHUDDER...GAINED CTL OF ACFT, USED REVERSE THRUST TO SLOW/STOP ACFT ON LAST HIGH SPD TURN OFF. FOUND FLAT SPOTS ON TIRES #1 AND #4, #2 WAS NORMAL AND #3 WAS SHREDDED AND WE HAD WORN PART OF THE HUB/WHEEL ASSEMBLY AWAY (GROUND AWAY BY RWY). R MAIN GEAR SUPPORT BRACE WAS BUSTED AND GEAR WAS CANTED TO R MORE THAN NORMAL. NO ONE WAS HURT THAT I KNOW OF. RUMOR HAS IT THAT A PAX COMPLAINED OF SOME TYPE OF INJURY AT BAGGAGE CLAIM. I THINK THE ANTI-SKID SYS (ALTHOUGH TURNED OFF) WAS LOCKED ON THE R GEAR THAT CAUSED THE SHARP VEER TO R AND THE FAILURE...THEN THE #3 RUBBER SHEARED THE GEAR SUPPORT BRACE AND IT STARTED TO SHIFT R AS WE SLOWED/STOP ACFT. ACFT HAD HISTORY OF ANTI-SKID PROBS AND THE CAPT ON PREVIOUS FLT HAD NO BRAKING ON R SIDE AS HE LEFT ANTI- SKID SWITCH ON -- OUR MEL XX IS CONFUSING.0 THE FIRST 2 PARAGRAPHS GIVE DIFFERENT ACTIONS AND OUR MAINT PEOPLE WEREN'T 100% SURE OF EXACT NATURE OF ANTI-SKID PROB SO WE ENSURED ANTI-SKID SYS WAS OFF AND WE DEPARTED.
