The Concorde crash was caused by bits of titanium engine cowling on the runway shredding a tyre and damaging a wing tank. The largest piece was an 18" long, 1" wide strip of metal that tore 10lb chunks out of the tyre.
Do you associate DC10's the same way? (The debris were from a DC10).
Apart from being a chain of events vanishingly unlikely to repeat, I doubt all other aircraft would come away from the same scenario fatality free.
