Narrative:

Landing in ind in a B737-300 at XA38, aircraft weight was 108000 pounds, flaps 30 degrees, autobrakes level 2, on runway 23R. WX was clear with winds southwest at 14 KTS. The first officer flew a stabilized well flown approach with a very smooth touchdown. Seconds after touchdown a loud bang was heard. The aircraft deaccelerated normally until the first officer applied normal brake pressure. As the first officer applied the brakes, the right brakes were not activating and he verbalized this. The left brakes were slowing the aircraft and pulling the aircraft to the left which he countered with right rudder peddle. At approximately 70 KTS the brakes on the right main truck activated and the aircraft slowed to taxi speed. I taxied clear of the runway at A7 and to the gate via taxiway a and taxiway M. On taxiway in, we discussed possible causes. We each activated the brakes and agreed that the left peddle felt normal but the right peddle felt soft but did activate. Neither crew member had experienced a blown tire but we suspected we blew a tire. On taxiway M, short of taxiway J, the second tire blew and we came to a stop. Dispatch, maintenance controller, ATC, and station operations were notified. Passenger were deplaned via airstairs and busses. Maintenance replaced the tires on the taxiway and moved aircraft for brakes and antiskid diagnostics.

Title: A B737-300 FLT BLOWS 2 MAIN TIRES. ONE ON LNDG AND THE OTHER ON THE TAXI IN AT IND, IN.

Narrative: LNDG IN IND IN A B737-300 AT XA38, ACFT WT WAS 108000 LBS, FLAPS 30 DEGS, AUTOBRAKES LEVEL 2, ON RWY 23R. WX WAS CLR WITH WINDS SW AT 14 KTS. THE FO FLEW A STABILIZED WELL FLOWN APCH WITH A VERY SMOOTH TOUCHDOWN. SECONDS AFTER TOUCHDOWN A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD. THE ACFT DEACCELERATED NORMALLY UNTIL THE FO APPLIED NORMAL BRAKE PRESSURE. AS THE FO APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE R BRAKES WERE NOT ACTIVATING AND HE VERBALIZED THIS. THE L BRAKES WERE SLOWING THE ACFT AND PULLING THE ACFT TO THE L WHICH HE COUNTERED WITH R RUDDER PEDDLE. AT APPROX 70 KTS THE BRAKES ON THE R MAIN TRUCK ACTIVATED AND THE ACFT SLOWED TO TAXI SPD. I TAXIED CLR OF THE RWY AT A7 AND TO THE GATE VIA TXWY A AND TXWY M. ON TXWY IN, WE DISCUSSED POSSIBLE CAUSES. WE EACH ACTIVATED THE BRAKES AND AGREED THAT THE L PEDDLE FELT NORMAL BUT THE R PEDDLE FELT SOFT BUT DID ACTIVATE. NEITHER CREW MEMBER HAD EXPERIENCED A BLOWN TIRE BUT WE SUSPECTED WE BLEW A TIRE. ON TXWY M, SHORT OF TXWY J, THE SECOND TIRE BLEW AND WE CAME TO A STOP. DISPATCH, MAINT CTLR, ATC, AND STATION OPS WERE NOTIFIED. PAX WERE DEPLANED VIA AIRSTAIRS AND BUSSES. MAINT REPLACED THE TIRES ON THE TXWY AND MOVED ACFT FOR BRAKES AND ANTISKID DIAGNOSTICS.
