Yeah, the metar doesn't offer any promising alibis.

backseat quarterbacking

"Hard landing" + veering = blown tire? Glad everyone is ok.

What would lead you to believe one is needed/necessary?

Always nice when the benefit of the doubt is given

Probably the most statiscally prevalent contributing factor to departure from paved surfaces - - contaminated runways.
Why do you think another poster even looked at/posted the METAR from the time of the mishap?

As well as the XJT's requirement for a memory item dealing with such?

So I'll ask you the same, what makes you think a alibi is necessary? To add, do you have the facts to make a determination as to what the cause was? Does a nice/happy METAR mean NOTHING else could have happened

That scenario is given on A LOT of PCs. Also, look at how narrow the runway is there.
