Narrative:

The captain and I heard a loud bang along with two crew alerting system (cas) message at vr. As the gear went up one of the cas went away. At 1;000 ft I had the captain turn the autopilot so we could QRH the cas message wow input and figure out why the brake temp readout had dashed lines through the left inboard main tire. The wow input QRH told us the there is a change that the nose wheel steering would not work on landing. With that being said captain called maintenance to see what they wanted us to do. While he was on the other radio I got a report from a following departure that there were a lot of tire fragments all over the runway and he thought we blew a tire. Now that we knew we blew a tire we stayed with departure control and declared an emergency. We had about 3;000 pounds of fuel to burn before we could make our landing weight. To burn the fuel off we turned the APU on and dumped 20 degrees of flap and dropped the landing gear to make sure that everything was working right. When we dropped the gear the second cas message came up saying anti skid inboard was not working and we assumed that both anti skids were not working and planned to use minimal braking action. After about 40 minutes of burning off fuel we landed; as we touched down the blown tire starting beating on the flap and underneath the wing. I used hardly any brakes and used full reversers. Once we slowed down the captain tried the nose wheel steering and it worked and we pulled off the runway. With the tire beating on the belly of the aircraft it ripped out hydraulic system 1 and it was leaking fluid. We decided that it wasn't a good idea for us to taxi to the gate.
