The Boeing 737-800 operated by WestJet as flight WJA1876, was departing Vancouver Intl, BC (CYVR) for Kahului Intl, Hawaii (PHOG) with 157 passengers and 6 crew members on board. During the takeoff roll on runway 08R, a left main tire blew at about 120 knots IAS; shortly thereafter, the second left main tire blew. The takeoff was rejected and an emergency was declared with ATC.
The aircraft remained on the runway and came to a stop about 7200 feet down the 11 500 foot runway. ARFF attended the aircraft; there was no fire. Passengers and baggage were deplaned, requiring about 2 hours. The disabled aircraft was defueled to enable the wheel assemblies to be replaced. Since the height of the aircraft in its current state was lower than normal, non-standard jacking equipment was required.
The runway was closed for about 7 hours and 40 minutes. Preliminary inspections did not identify further damage to the aircraft or the runway.
